and reduced hips (i.e. set hip dislocations)

Function

CoxaFlex® reliably centers the hip joints
in an adjustable, natural position. It main-
tains the muscles of the lower extremities
relaxed while in resting position, and avoi-
ds extreme positions and circulatory prob-
lems of the joint. Additionally, the orthosis
allows for widely unimpaired hygienic care
and unproblematic radiographic depiction
of the joint even while worn.

Safety

• Before this device is used, it is essential
that the orthosis is individually adapted
to the patient by an experienced ortho-
pedic technician and that the patient is
trained in the orthosis' use according to
the doctor's instructions.
• Incorrect selection, adaptation, applica-
tion, and/or failure to monitor the correct
fit of this product may cause health damage.
• Check orthosis for damage (such as
loose connections, fasteners, belts,
etc.) each time it is put on.
• In case you suspect any performance
malfunctions (e.g. an apparent reduction
or lack of effect), immediately call on your
doctor or orthopedic technician.
• Never wear the orthosis on broken skin.
• The orthosis must be checked for proper
function, correct fit and potential damage
by a doctor or orthopedic technician at
regular intervals. The timing of these
intervals has to be defined individually
for each patient.
• Should the product have been subject to
disproportionate stress, it must be checked
for potential damage by an orthopedic
technician before further use.
• Harmful pressure caused by the orthosis
may cause skin injuries or disrupt blood
flow and must be avoided.
• Due to the individual adaptation to the
patient the orthosis may not be reused
on other people.
