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:
A Adjusting the height of the sternal support: This support can be set to two different positions. When supplied, it is
always set to the lower position. To increase the height:
1-Remove the foam fabric padding to access the screws that connect the sternal pad to the hinges.
2-Remove these screws using the Allen key and invert the position of the pad keeping the Velcro pointed towards
the chest.
3-Reattach the sternal pad to the hinges using the screws.
B Adjusting the position of the sternal support: The sternal pad can be repositioned by sliding it along its horizontal
grooves. To do so:
1-Remove the foam fabric padding to access the screws that connect the sternal pad to the hinges.
2-Loosen these screws using the Allen key and move the sternal pad to the required position.
3-Reattach the screws.
C Adjusting the stability of the sternal piece: The lateral stability of the pad can be increased or decreased by chang-
ing the distance between the hinges. To do so:
1-Remove the foam fabric padding to access the screws that connect the sternal pad to the hinges.
2-Remove these screws using the Allen key, detach the sternal pad and remove the hinges and washers, leaving the
black axes accessible.
3-Remove these axes and change their position: moving them further apart produces less pad mobility and, there-
fore, greater stability. Moving them closer together produces greater pad mobility and, therefore, less stability. The
position of the hinges must be symmetrical.
4-After fixing the black axes, reattach the hinges, washers and sternal pad, fastening the assembly with the screws.
