Restrictions For Use - Ottobock 8060 Genu Immobil Gebrauchsanweisung

6 Applying the Orthosis
Loosen all straps. Apply the orthosis to the leg, so that the opening for the patella is positioned
on the patella. For legs with a larger circumference, the side pieces together with the straps and
plastic loops can be repositioned on the orthosis, as necessary (fig. 2). Lead the straps through
the plastic loops and tighten the straps. The orthosis should fit securely yet still remain comfort-
able enough to wear. Finally, cut the straps to the required length (fig. 4).
As an option, attach the narrow middle loop strip over the patella (fig. 3) for the fixation of Cool-
Packs, for example.
The removable lateral and posterior stabilizing elements (aluminum splints) are inserted in the cor-
responding fabric pockets and can be individually adapted to the desired flexion angle.
Be sure to check the fit of the orthosis prior to delivery to the patient.
7 Instructions for Use
Before each use, the orthosis must be checked for functional reliability and for possible wear or
damage. If a hook and loop closure or any other part of the orthosis show any signs of wear, the
orthosis should no longer be used. The daily duration of use and total period of application must
be determined by the attending physician.
Improper changes to the product are not permitted. Patients should be instructed to consult a phy-
sician immediately if they experience unusual changes (such as an increase in pain). The product
should not come into contact with grease or acidic agents, unguents and lotions.
Care Guide (fig. 5)
