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 professional
legally certified to do so who must make sure the end user or person responsible for fitting the product properly under-
stands how it works and should be used.
When fitting the product, you must adhere to the following instructions:
A DEPENDING ON THE PRODUCT:
Ankle supports in general:
For correct fitting insert the foot into the ankle support placing the heel in its corresponding posterior window, in the
case of an open ankle support, tighten the velcros or zip according to the model, located in the upper front side. Crossed
dressings: if it incorporates elastic pins with an inward direction or outward direction, secure one end of the pin to the base
of the centre of the foot, directing the pin towards an internal or external direction lifting it by the forefoot embracing the
opposite malleolus, and fixing the remaining end over the ankle support. Ensure the direction of the pin is correctly placed
according to whether it be a medial or lateral instability of the ankle.
B STABILISING ANKLE SUPPORTS THAT INCORPORATE MALLEOLI PLATES:
Due to the design of this type of ankle support, we can choose between the following:
⋅ Conventional ankle support: the ankle support used without plates and without traction pins, acts as an ankle support
with compression.
⋅ Ankle support with pins: Adapting the traction pin either in the inward or outward sense would grant a greater medial
or lateral stabilisation.
⋅ Ankle support with pins and malleoli plates: Adapting the outward/inward pins and the thermoplastic malleoli to the an-
kle support would allow a complete stability of the medio lateral tibio tarsal joint. Note: the plates can be placed medial,
lateral or both ways according to the patients needs.
Note-Caution: the ankle support, incorporates an internal and external plastic malleolus plate, it is very important not to
confuse them, as it could produce scratches and irritation. To enable this difference the exterior plate has been marked
with (EXT) and the interior (INT).
How do you fit the plates?
⋅ External malleolus plate: Carries an identification on the front that should be placed according to whether the right
foot or the left foot is being treated. It should be placed on the external part of the ankle support inserting it into its
corresponding pocket.
⋅ Internal malleolus plate: Carries an identification on the front that should be placed according to whether the right foot
or the left foot is being treated, place on the medial side of the ankle support, inserting it into its corresponding pocket.
C TOB-500:
The dressing should be placed with a flexion of 90º and slight eversion (biomechanical resting position).
Place the elastic sock (ankle support), making sure the dark area (area of greater compression) meets the heel, avoiding
undesired joint movement.
Tighten the traction pin over the velcro on the external side of the ankle, creating an inward traction movement.
Surround the ankle with the elastic clasp and close the external one allowing both to meet the velcro on the other side.
Tension of the dressing: should not produce marks on the skin, painful points or changes in the colour or temperature of
the skin, if any of these are detected remove the dressing.
p PRECAUTIONS
Before each use, check that all product components are present as per the fitting process. Periodically check the condi-
tions of the product. If you observe any defect or anomaly, immediately report it to the issuing establishment.
