FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR’S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that
the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
To fit the VALFEET (XR OR AIR) place it into your footwear and release the 4 velcro straps. Once the
VALFEET has been fitted to the footwear, separate the two valves so that you can comfortable put
your foot into the VALFEET. Then push the foot back and adjust the closure of the footwear. We
recommend you use footwear with closing or adjustment systems (laces, velcro straps). Do not
use moccasins.
To ensure suitable and comfortable fitting, first attach the back straps and then the front ones. To
remove your foot from the VALFEET release the straps and separate the valves.
Both Valfeet can be used with or without the insole of your footwear according to your personal
preference. If having fitted Valfeet you do not obtain the desired level of comfort, remove the in-
sole of your footwear.
Both Valfeet models have a set of screws in the packaging that allows flexo-extension movement
blocking, if necessary. To attach the screws, remove the internal pads, drill under the joint axles
between the valves and the sole and insert the screws. Replace the pad over the velcro.
Valfeet AIR:
The fitting procedure is the same as that for Valfeet XR, but there is an additional inflation system.
Inflation system: it contains an air chamber that allows compression to be increased and the tibi-
otrsal articulation to be stabilised.
The orthosis includes an inflation and deflation pump. To inflate, place the end of the inflation
pump into the valve of the air chamber at the top and inflate as required. To deflate use the other
end of the pump and deflate as required.
