Preventing the deformity from increasing.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For best therapeutic results considering different pathologies and to extend the useful life of the product, it is
essential to choose the correct size for each patient or user. Excessive compression may be intolerable; adjusting
the compression to be firm yet comfortable is recommended.
If the product must be adapted, any such adjustments must be done by an orthopaedic specialist or healthcare
professional legally certified to do so who must make sure the end user or person responsible for fitting the
product properly understands how it works and should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the following instructions:
1-Wrap the midfoot (in the area of the longitudinal arches) with the elastic band (A), tighten it and fasten with
the Velcro (B).
2-Place the elastic strap between the big and second toe (C), making sure that the area covered with gel is
facing the big toe. Tighten the strap to force the toe inwards and correct the deformity as much as can be tol-
erated. Cross the strap over, attach the upper part first and then the lower, and tighten to achieve the required
movement of the toe (D). Adjust the strap to move the toe inwards, upwards or downwards to find the most
appropriate position to alleviate the discomfort of the patient. Fasten the ends of the strap with the Velcro,
which makes it easy for the user to adjust the position of the toe at any time (E).

PRECAUTIONS
Before each use, check that all product components are present as per the fitting process. Periodically check
the conditions of the product. If you observe any defect or anomaly, immediately report it to the issuing
establishment.
This product is made of inflammable material. Do not expose the products to situations that could set them
on fire. In the event of a fire, quickly get them off your body and use the proper resources to extinguish the
fire.
To avoid minor discomfort caused by sweating, we recommend using some type of cotton fabric to separate
the skin from contact with the product material. For discomfort such as chafing, irritation and swelling,
remove the product and see a doctor or orthopaedic specialist. The product should only be used on healthy
skin. It is not recommended for use over open scars with swelling, redness or hotspots.
Products marked with the
l
symbol contain natural rubber latex and can cause allergic reactions in people
sensitive to latex.
Products marked with the
o
symbol contain ferromagnetic components and, therefore, extreme precaution
must be taken if you undergo an MRI scan or are exposed to radiation associated with diagnostic or thera-
peutic procedures.
RECOMMENDATIONS-WARNINGS
The use of these products is conditioned by the indications. Although the product is not defined as a single-use
device, using it on a single patient only is recommended and only for the intended purposes as described in
these instructions or by a healthcare professional.
When disposing of the product and its packaging, you must strictly adhere to the legal regulations in your
community.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND WASHING
When not using the product, store it in the original packaging in a dry place at room temperature. Stick the
Velcro to each other (if the orthotic device has them), frequently wash by hand with warm water (30º C max.)
and mild soap. To dry the product, use a dry towel to absorb as much moisture as possible and let it dry at room
temperature. Do not hang it up or iron the product and do not expose it to direct heat sources such as stoves,
dryers, direct sun exposure, etc. When using or cleaning the product, do not use abrasive or corrosive substanc-
es, alcohol, ointments or liquid solvents. If not dried off properly, the detergent residue may irritate the skin
and cause the product to deteriorate.
