VERTEBRADYN
-AKTIV is an orthesis for the stabilisation of the lumbar column. It features a back pad, tensioning
®
straps and anatomically pre-shared spring steel rods integrated in the back.
The 3-dimensional anatomic, elastic and freely breathing knitted bandage ensures functional compression at maximum
wearing comfort.
The combination of abdominal support with rear stabilisation elements relieves the vertebral column and straightens
the pelvis.
The anatomically profiled, soft proprioception pad has a muscle activating and stabilising effect, combined with a
pleasant, blood circulatory promoting and massaging effect. The compression pressure of the VERTEBRADYN
can be individually adjusted with the continuously variable touch fastener. The loops around the fastener ensure that
the VERTEBRADYN
-AKTIV can be very comfortably fitted

Generally speaking you should see the doctor treating you about the indication and method of wearing an orthopaedic
aid and if you have the following conditions:
_ Allergic, inflammatory or lesion-specific skin alterations (e.g. swelling, reddening) of the body areas being treated.
_ Impaired circulation or lymphatic soft tissue swelling.
_ Neurogenically-specific organoleptic and skin trophic disorders in the body area being treated (sensory
disorders with and without skin damage).
So far not consequential incompatibilities or allergic reactions have been reported.
S I D E - E F F E C T S
With proper use and proper fitting, so far there have been no reports of serious general side-effects.
Local pressure symptoms and impaired circulation can be prevented with sufficient certainty on an individual basis if
allowance is made for any contraindications and with non-restricting consistently shaped body fitting.

Fasten the heart-shaped silicone pad in the towelling pocket on the middle of the loop- and-hook fastener on
the Inner side of VERTEBRADYN
edge of the lumbal orthesis, while the burls face the body.
The correct position of the VERTEBRADYN
section is centred over the lumbar column.

TIP:
VERTEBRADYN
-AKTIV should exert a high compression on the body. The combination of the stabilising ele-
®
ments in the lumbar vertebra area with abdominal support should achieve a distinct relief of the vertebral column.
Ensure that the VERTEBRADYN

Wash the orthesis in hand-warm water with a mild detergent and then dry in the open air. Do not place it on a radiator!
To prevent damage to clothes wash the orthesis separately or close the touch fasteners beforehand.
TIP:
Slackening tension of the knitted fabric while it is being worn is revived by washing. The orthesis should therefore
be washed frequently.
