INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION: • Applying orthosis. Sit on the edge of a chair and

loosen all Velcro straps. Bend the knee at a 45° angle and place the orthosis as shown

in Figure A by aligning the joint with the top edge of the kneecap and slightly offset

backwards from the center line of the leg. Make sure that the orthosis is not twisted

on the leg. • Closing the belt. Pull the straps through the opposite straps and close the

Velcro fasteners in the given order:

0. Wide anti-migration band below the joint (Fig. B)

1. Calf strap near to the knee (Fig. C)

2. Calf strap away from the knee (Fig. D)

3. Thigh strap near to the knee (Fig. E)

4. Thigh strap away from the knee (Fig. F)

5. Tibia belt (Fig. G)

• Check the correct seat. When all straps are fastened, the center of the joint should

be directly above the top end of the kneecap and slightly offset backwards from the

center line of the leg. It is recommended to bend the knee a few times or walk for a few

minutes to ensure that the orthosis does not shift when moving. Then tighten the straps

again according to steps 1-5 to ensure a safe and comfortable fit. • Adjust the knee

width. The knee width can be adjusted by means of enclosed condyle pads of different

thicknesses. • Set the extension and flexion limit (according to medical specifications

only by specialist personnel). Remove the condylene pads. Insert the respective limiting

wedges and fix them with the enclosed screws (Fig. H). Make the same settings on both

joints.

USE AND CARE: • If the orthosis needs to be adjusted after use, tighten all belts according

to the application instructions. • All straps and pads can be tailored to the patient's limb

circumference. • The orthosis can be used in both salt and fresh water. After use, rinse

with clean tap water and let it dry in the air. • Wash the belt and pad material by hand

in a mild, warm (30°C) soap solution. Air-drying. • Check screws regularly for a tight fit

and retighten if necessary. • Lubricate joints regularly with dry lubricant or Teflon™spray.

To lubricate the inner joint mechanism, bring the orthosis in a flexion position and spray

lubricant into the joint gap. • The orthosis should be used only with the accessories

intended for this product. • Always consult the doctor before changing the settings on

the orthosis.
