Break-In Period
Like a new pair of shoes, ankle braces require a break-in period.
New shoes combined with a new ankle brace require an even
longer break-in period (usually 6-8 hours). Loosen the shoelaces
to reduce friction until the brace and the shoe break-in. Wear an
additional full tall sock to help reduce friction.
Proper Hinge Lubrication
The Ultra Zoom® is made of an advanced thermoplastic resin
which can occasionally produce a squeak in the hinge area.
Lubricant sprayed directly in the rivet/hinge area will stop
the squeaking.
Heat Molding to Accelerate the Break-In-Period
WARNING: Do not contact or place a hot brace against the
skin immediately after heating.
WARNING: Do not exceed the recommended temperature
and time for heating the brace.
WARNING: Only use an infrared oven or conventional
hair dryer to heat the brace. Never use a convection oven,
conventional oven, water bath, or microwave as a heat source.
When using an infrared oven, the recommended temperature
range for heating the brace at is 130-149°F (54-65°C) for 3
minutes. Do not exceed the recommended temperature and time
for heating the brace in an infrared oven. If using a conventional
hair dryer, place the brace on a flat surface and heat the brace
for 3 minutes or until all sides feel warm. Take precaution after
both heating methods and let the brace cool for at least 20
seconds before handling the brace. Remember to always wear an
absorbent full tall sock.
