What can I do if...
... the brace slips?
•
check that the brace is fitted properly. the
center of the brace joints should be level with
the upper border of the kneecap.
•
Make sure that the back thigh strap (#
above the largest part of the calf muscle.
•
take the covers off the knee pads and wear
the pads directly on your skin. Watch for skin
reactions; skin irritation may occur in people
with very sensitive skin.
•
Do not wear the brace over clothes.
... the pads have worn down?
•
replacement pads can be obtained from
mediusa. Your orthotist will be pleased to help.
Care instructions
the inner pads and the condyle pads can be
washed by hand with a mild soap/detergent.
Leave to dry naturally. When used normally the
brace is maintenance-free. However, after using
the brace in water, the hinges can be lubricated
™
using teflon
spray. regularly check that the joint
screws are secure, tighten if necessary.
Storage
Keep the brace in a cool, dry place and do not
expose to direct sunlight.
