REGULATIONS
d
This article is defined as a class I medical device. A Risk Analysis (UNE EN ISO 14971) has been carried out, min
-
imising the existing risks. Tests have been in accordance with European Regulation UNE-EN ISO 22523 on Prostheses
and Orthoses.
INDICATIONS
Girdle-trousers of this type are indicated for persons with flaccid muscle tissue with prominent pendulous abdomen,
sagging glutei and soft thigh musculature associated with lower back pain incisional hernias, post-abdominal wall sur
-
gery, arthritis and rheumatic problems, etc. in which cosmetic appearance is important as well as compression which
gathers and contains al the associated musculature, obtaining elevation of the lower abdomen and creating an upwards
compression, preventing chafing of the inner thighs.
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 profes
-
sional 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:
It is recommended to be used with underwear so as to obtain greater comfort and hygiene.
With the opening systems open, place each leg into its corresponding trouser leg.
Then lift the girdle-trousers up to the pubic area, gathering the glutei. Raise the rest of the girdle as high as possible,
up to about just below the ribs, and close the girdle starting below and going upwards, starting with the hook-and-eye
system, then closing the zip.
Adaptation of the lumbosacral support:
The lumbosacral support is an elastic element in the back zone of girdle-trousers. At both ends it has 4 rows of hooks
which allow us to regulate the pressure of the elastic lumbosacral system. On the front (abdominal), there are 2 tabs
which on their ends, a row of male hooks. Pull the back elastic bands toward the abdomen, fastening them with the
hooks on the desired row in order to obtain the necessary compression, always starting from the lowest, and going to
the highest hook. Carry out this procedure on both sides.
Attachment of the lumbar cushion:
The panty girdle has an anatomically designed lumbar pad.
Before putting in place, it needs to be adapted to the patient’s lumbar area. Once this has been done, remove the astra
-
khan Velcro straps and position the fastener area on the velour provided for this purpose.
The widest area should be positioned upwards and the narrowest edge downwards. For proper positioning, the Velcro
face should be attached to the rear internal side of the girdle, positioned in accordance with the female Velcro and
properly aligned.
The plate should be adapted to the patient’s lumbar curve, which we can do using our hand. Take care to ensure that
the Velcro fastener does not come into contact with the external part of the orthosis, in order to avoid chaffing with the
fabric.
