REGULATION
These products satisfy the European Medical Device Directive 93/42/CEE (RD. 1591/2009). A Risk
Analysis has been carried out (UNE EN ISO 14971) minimising all the existing risks. The trials have
been carried out in accordance with the European regulation UNE-EN ISO 22523 of Prosthesis and
Orthesis.
SUITABLE FOR
Specially indicated in patients affected by kyphotic attitudes, vertebral wedging, dorsolumbar
traumatisms, infectious illnesses which affect the dorsal rachides, slipped disks, postoperative,
osteoporosis and in all those cases in which the object is the correction of the kyphotic curve, and
the antepulsion of shoulders.
Some lower dorsalgias T-8, T-12, associated with lumbalgias, require temporary immobilization
(movement of the patient, domestic and work-related mechanical efforts, etc.)
In those cases in which they partially need thoracic contention at some time of the day, depending
on the activity.
The dorsal module can always adapt upon an Evotec lumbrosacral support.
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:
Putting on the Dorso Evotec :
The dorsal piece is designed to be put on in combination with the Evotec high and low girdle.
Once the model and the correct size for the patient are selected, we can assemble the dorsal piece
with the Evotec girdle. Prior to this, the lumbar pad must be removed from the girdle, as it is not
possible to put it on together with the Dorso Evotec.
1-2: Place the Evotec girdle upon a smooth surface and open it completely; then stick on the dorsal
piece , with the internal velour of the evotec and the microhook of the Dorso Evotec, making sure
that the 2 central stays of the girdle coincide with the 2 central stays of the dorsal piece, always
starting to join from the lower part of the lumbar girdle; the height can be regulated from a mini-
mum of 47 cm to a maximum of 53 cm in the low model and from a minimum of 47 cm to a maximum
of 57 cm in the high model.(see drawing).
This will allow us to have a contact and adherence area that is large enough for both pieces to be
stable together. If we wish to increase the height, the area of adherence will be minimal, losing
solidity in the combination of both components.
3-4-5: Once both pieces are adhered at the desired height, adapt it to the patient, starting by fas-
tening the abdominal microhook lock until the desired compression is obtained.
Then, pull the side lumboabdominal tensors until obtaining the desired compression, fastening
them to the front of the girdle with the microhook lock.
6: Pull the straps over the shoulders and under the axilla, crossing them over the back and up to
the abdomen, joining them together with the lock system.
7-8: Regulation of the length of the straps:
At its end, together with the lock ring, it has an adhesive system which, when removed, will leave
the end of the cinch free; the excess length can then be cut (see drawing).
Once this operation is carried out, join the end again to the adhesive system.
9: Last, adjust the lock, joining both rotational buckles, and stretching until hearing a click. The
adjustment of this lock must be on the central front part of the Evotec girdle.
Adaptation of the module in Evotec Forte thermoplastic with the Dorso Evotec dorsal piece:
A: We will first joint the 2 side-fastening cinches to the Dorsal piece.
B: We will then join the thermoplastic module to the dorsal piece , with the adhesive surfaces
of both modules to fasten them laterally with the 2 microhook fastening cinches attached to the
thermoplastic module.
The height may be regulated from a minimum of 47 cm to a maximum of 53 cm in the low model and
of 47 cm to a maximum of 57 cm in the high model.
C: Then adapt the Evotec girdle, clasping both components (thermoplastic module and dorsal
module), thus proceeding to lock it, following the steps described previously in the placement of
the Dorsal piece, from point no. 3.
› For proper use of the orthosis it is advisable not to modify its height position once the Velcro straps are adjusted, since the fabric could tear. If you need to
adjust the height of the orthosis, first loosen the Velcro straps, re-position the orthosis at the desired height, and adjust the tension of the Velcro straps.
