out flat. Position the patient’s leg (illustrated) so that the knee is centered
between the foam hinge pads.

Wrap and secure the foam wraps around the leg starting with the wraps
closest to the knee. The hinges should be positioned at mid patella and
towards the back of the knee on the sides. If necessary, the side bars may
be removed from the foam wraps and repositioned and or bent to contour
to the patient’s leg.

center wrap, between the knee and ankle, does not have a front securing
