Initial wearing schedule
Prior to prolonged sitting, it is advisable to use your Ride Corbac for a short period of
time and visually check any area that contacts the back support. Any reddened area
should fade within 10-30 minutes. Contact your doctor or therapist if redness persists for
greater than 30 minutes. As long as skin inspections do not show red areas persisting
more than 30 minutes, you are safe to continue use. Skin checks should be made no less
than daily, even after skin tolerance is established. Continue to perform routine intermittent
pressure relief techniques (forward lean) as advised by your healthcare professional.
Y
WARNING: If any redness associated with the use of the Corbac persists for greater
than 30 minutes, cease using and contact your therapist or doctor immediately.
Follow-up
It is recommended to have your seated posture and skin integrity checked by your
healthcare professional at least annually, or whenever you experience a change in
your weight, posture, or general condition that could impact your ability to sit safely,
comfortably, and functionally.
