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
⋅ Treatment of clavicular fractures, as a figure-of-eight bandage.
⋅ Description of posture. As a method of rest, limiting mobility and preventing gravity-induced cap-
sulo-ligamentous strain by obtaining a functionally correct position.
⋅ It acts as a method of support, shifting the weight of the upper arm to the back, thereby reducing
the biomechanical load on the respective joints. Additionally, it acts as a means of positioning
the shoulder in a certain position to minimize the action of certain muscle groups which need to
be relaxed, and aligning the fractured segments of the injury in the collarbone.
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:
IC-30:
The aim of this device is to provide the maximum shoulder retropulsion possible, for which there
are 4 adjustment straps.
Situated on the back plate, between D2 and D5, immediately adjust the traction strap in a balanced
manner and exert the force necessary to obtain the desired support. In cases where an anatomi-
cal revision is required, gradually increase the tension in the straps to the tolerance limit of the
patient, until the correct posture is obtained.
To apply treatment to reduce fractures and align the clavicle, tighten the straps until the clavicle
is correctly aligned.
When using the device in hemiplegic patients with a scapulohumeral subluxation, the back plate
(interscapular) is placed at the C7 and D1 level. This is achieved by tightening as much as possible
then slightly releasing the lower straps.
Once the plate is in position, tighten all the straps to the maximum extent possible. This supplies
the force required to raise the dislocated shoulder and reduce the subluxation.
ET-210:
With the patient in the standing position, centre the back plate by placing the upper straps over the
shoulders and the lower straps below, on both sides.
Wrap the lower straps around the stomach below the ribs and fasten them using the velcro in the
area above the abdomen.
Then place the upper straps over the shoulders and below the armpit, crossing them across the
back and wrap them around the sides in the direction of the abdomen.
Tighten the lower straps as much as necessary to get the desired support for the shoulders, then
fasten the straps with the Velcro in the area below the abdomen.
