Intended purpose
Lumbamed plus is a brace for stabilising
the lumbar spine using a back pad.
Indications
All indications which require stabilisati-
on of the lumbar spine by redistributing
pressure using a back pad, such as:
• Lower back pain (lumbago)
• Postural muscle imbalance in the
lumbar spine
Contraindications
None known at present.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
•
Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Note on wearing
Supports have the greatest effect during
physical exercise. In principal, the
support can be worn all day. The special
cut in the area of the groin (Comfort
Zone) is decisive for the correct and
comfortable fit of the support. However,
this depends on how comfortable the
support is to wear. The support should
be taken off for longer breaks (e.g. sitting
for a long time or a long car drive,
sleeping).
The support is also suitable for use in
water. After use, please rinse out the
product thoroughly.
Putting on / Taking off
• Pull the fabric cover over the massage
pad and secure the pad in the centre or
in accordance with the physician’s or
healthcare professional’s instructions
on the middle grey hook and loop
section between the two rods. The pad
should be secured in such a way that
the bottom end rests against the top
of the area where the two buttocks
come together (Fig. 1+2).
• The label on the right inside of the
fastener provides information about
how to put the support on (Fig. 3).
• First, slip into the wrist strap in the left
inside of the fastener (Fig. 4).
- Wrap the bandage around the body
and then please refer back to the
label to check whether you are
holding the bandage correctly
(Fig. 5).
- Now, slip into the outer wrist strap
on the right side (Fig. 6).
