REGULATIONS
d
This article is defined as a class I medical device. A Risk Analysis (UNE EN ISO 14971) has been carried out, min-
imising the existing risks. Tests have been in accordance with European Regulation UNE-EN ISO 22523 on Prostheses
and Orthoses.
INDICATIONS
Instability of the knee, post-operative and post-trauma rehabilitation and relative immobilisation of the knee joint in
situations that require a perfect control.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For best therapeutic results considering different pathologies and to extend the useful life of the product, it is essential
to choose the correct size for each patient or user. Excessive compression may be intolerable; adjusting the compression
to be firm yet comfortable is recommended.
If the product must be adapted, any such adjustments must be done by an orthopaedic specialist or healthcare profes-
sional legally certified to do so who must make sure the end user or person responsible for fitting the product properly
understands how it works and should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the following instructions:
1- Open the fastening clips of the strap (a) and unfasten the buckles (b).
2- Separate the hinge bars, extend the knee brace, and put on the device with the knee centred between the hinges.
Orient the knee so that the hinges are pointing in the indicated direction, with the calf pads (the smaller ones) towards
the feet.
3- Put on the hinge bars laterally and medially with respect to the leg, and centre the hinge at the knee joint.
4- Attach the two straps closest to the knee, without tightening.
5- Loosen the friction clips. For correct adjustment, slide the upper and lower telescopic hinge bars in order to accommo-
date the leg along the entire length. Close the friction clips. The length indicators of the hinge bars allow verifying the
concordance of the selected lengths on the thigh and on the calf.
6- Attach the two remaining straps, without tightening.
7- Pull on the straps to tighten them until there is no gap behind the leg. Be careful to maintain the lateral and medial
positions of the hinge bars.
8- Close the friction clips.
9- Pull on the straps in order to tighten them through the buckles. Be careful to maintain the lateral and medial positions
of the hinge bars.
10- Fasten the ends of the straps. Use the Y-tongues at the ends of the straps in order to fasten them. The straps may have
to be folded in order to shorten them before introducing them in the Y-tongues.
Adjust the movement range control hinge.
11- The values of the extension limits can be selected between 10° of hyperextension and 30° by pulling the tongue out
and sliding it to the desired position.
12- The values of the flexion limits can be selected between 10° of hyperextension and 120°.
13- The hinge can be fastened in one position by sliding the quick fastening button to the blocking position at any of the
5 positions: 10° of hyperextension, 0° (neutral), 10°, 20° and 30°.
For the model ref: 94261, follow these steps:
1- Separate the thigh and calf strips of foam of the orthosis, separating the articulations.
2- Position the thigh and calf strips, cutting off any excess and adjusting it on the leg, then following the same instruc-
tions as in point 3.
p PRECAUTIONS
Before each use, check that all product components are present as per the fitting process. Periodically check the

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE AND WASHING
When not using the product, store it in the original packaging in a dry place at room temperature. Stick the Velcro to each
other (if the orthotic device has them), frequently wash by hand with warm water (30º C max.) and mild soap. To dry the
product, use a dry towel to absorb as much moisture as possible and let it dry at room temperature. Do not hang it up or
iron the product and do not expose it to direct heat sources such as stoves, dryers, direct sun exposure, etc. When using
or cleaning the product, do not use abrasive or corrosive substances, alcohol, ointments or liquid solvents. If not dried off
