Intended purpose
The Lumbamed plus is a lumbar support
with pad. The product is exclusively to
be used for the orthotic fitting of the
lower back and only on intact skin.
Areas of use
• Non-specific pain in the area of the
lumbar spine (LS)
• (Repeated) Pain due to attrition in the
area of the LS, e.g. on account of
changes to the intervertebral disks
• Irritations of the sacroiliac joint
• Overstrain injuries in the transitional
area lumbar spine/pelvis
• Weak or unbalanced trunk muscles
(back, abdomen)
Side-Effects / Contraindications
No side-effect is known which
influences the whole body. However, if
supports (or similar aids) are too tight,
this may lead to local pressure effects or
the constriction of blood vessels or
nerves in individual cases. You should
thus consult your doctor in the following
circumstances before applying the
support:
• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the
area of use, especially with
inflammatory symptoms (excessive
warming, swelling or reddening).
Any combination with other products
must be discussed in advance with the
responsible doctor.
Mode of action / Comment on wear
Lumbamed plus has a stabilising and
relieving effect on the lumbar spine. Its
compressive knitted fabric and the pad
that is used also stimulate circulation
and have a pain-relieving, massage
effect without affecting the muscular
force.
®
Supports have the greatest effect during
physical exercise. In principal, the
support can be worn all day. The special
cut in the area of the groin (Comfort
Zone) is decisive for the correct and
comfortable fit of the support. However,
this depends on how comfortable the
support is to wear. The support should
be taken off for longer breaks (e.g. sitting
for a long time or a long car drive,
sleeping).
If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort
during wear, please take off the product
immediately and contact your doctor or
specialized shop.
The support is suitable for use in water.
After use, please rinse out the product
thoroughly.
Putting on / Taking off
• Pull the textile cover over the massage
pad and fix in the middle on the
central, blue Velcro area between the
two stays according to the instructions
of your doctor or a specialist. (Fig. 1 +
2) The pad should be fastened so that
its lower end rests just above the fold
between the buttocks when worn.
• First slip your left hand into the
internal wrist strap of the left side of
the fastener. Guide the bandage round
the body and then slip your right hand
into the external hand strap of the
right side of the fastener (Fig. 3 + 4)
• Pull both sides of the fastener into the
middle so that they overlap as far as
possible and stick to each other by the
Velcro pads as evenly as possible. The
bandage is properly fitted when the
lower edge of the fastener is just above
the groin (Fig. 5)
Please always wear the Lumbamed plus
on the skin and under your clothing. This
maximises the Clima Comfort Effect.
Please take care that trained staff
instruct you when putting on the
support for the first time.
