• Attach strap clips into sternal plate and adjust straps so that strap padding
is centered on the anatomy.
• The strap ends should be tucked into the anterior strap clips and posterior
strap loops. Strap ends can also be cut and heat sealed.
Sternal Bar:
Open sternal bar clip to telescope sternal bar to desired
height, then close clip to lock in place.
– Standard practice is to have sternal plate 1 to 2” below sternal notch
when standing and 1/2” below when seated or supine.
– If there is a gap between sternal pad and chest or there is too much
pressure on the chest, the sternal bar can be bent to achieve proper
positioning with bending irons or over the edge of a table.
