Intended users and patient target groups
Healthcare professionals and patients, including persons who
play a supporting role in care, are the intended users for this
device, provided that they have received briefing on this from
healthcare professionals.
Patient target group: Healthcare professionals should provide
care to adults and children, applying the available information
on the measurements/sizes and required functions/indica-
tions, in line with the information provided by the manufac-
turer, and acting under their own responsibility.
Individualisation
Step 1: This upper leg component consists of two pieces: a
large "body" portion that has numbers printed along the top
and bottom edge and a smaller "spine" portion. Separate the
two pieces from one another and lay them out flat so that the
number markings along the bottom and top edge of the body
portion face up. Disengage the bottom most band to view all
of the number markings along the bottom edge. Do not flip
the spine portion upside down.
Step 2: Measure the patient's circumference 15 cm above the
patella E2, in centimeters.
circumference at the groin G.
If the E2 and G measurements exceed 70 cm and 80 cm
respectively, a wide legging will be needed, which includes
an extension piece. To use the extension, align the 70 cm
mark on the base of the component body with the 70 cm
mark along the body of the extension piece. Do the same
thing with the 80 cm mark along the top edge of the
component.
Step 3: Using the E2 circumference measurement first, place
the bottom left edge of the spine portion on top of the
corresponding number marking along the bottom edge of the
body portion. Repeat this step with the top left edge of the
spine portion for the G measurement. Once the top and
bottom spine tabs have been secured, adjust the center spine
tab to create a smooth curve.
Each patient's leg measurements will produce different spine
angles. There is no one correct spine shape. The spine tabs do
not need to reach the top or bottom edge of the body portion.
In those cases, the top and bottom tabs should visually
connect to the correct number markings. The garment may
no longer lay flat once the spine has been set. This is to be
expected when dealing with more extreme spine angles.
Step 4: Cut the excess material off of the body portion of the
garment leaving about 5 cm of excess. Ensure that enough of
an overlap is left as not to expose any of the spine hook and
to allow for potential spine adjusting.
