BracE appLIcatIoN
1. Unfasten all straps from the outer side of the brace.
2. With the knee bent in approximately 90 degrees, place the brace over
your knee such that the patella is centered between the condyle pads
(figure 2).
NotE: This places the hinge slightly above the joint line so the brace
can properly seat itself when you stand (figure. 3).
3. Beginning with the strap just below the knee (lower cruciate strap),
fasten the strap snugly above the calf muscle as this will aid in the
brace suspension (figure. 4).
4. Next, snugly fasten the bottom strap by inserting it through the
D-ring.
5. Continue with the strap just above the knee (upper cruciate strap),
followed by the top strap. Snugly fasten both straps.
Note: Over-tightening the two top straps can cause the brace to
migrate.
WarNING: If brace causes discomfort or irritation, discontinue use
immediately and contact your health care provider.
