REGULATION
These products satisfy the European Medical Device Directive 93/42/CEE (RD. 1591/2009). A Risk
Analysis has been carried out (UNE-EN ISO 14971) minimising all the existing risks. The trials have
been carried out in accordance with the European regulation (UNE-EN ISO 22523) of Prosthesis
and Orthesis.
SUITABLE FOR
Any restraint system is indicated in all cases where, insecurity, lack of postural control or risk
to the patient may become unstable, both in active or passive means (wheelchairs, beds, etc.).
They opt for either of these devices as postural control needs and support required by the patient.
These devices have no specific and multiple reasons are both psychological and physical that re-
quire this treatment.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR'S ORDERS. In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the
different pathologies and to prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the
correct size adequate for each patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with
all the sizes and the equivalent in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance,
therefore we recommend that the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
HIP BELT SELECTION GUIDE - SELECTING A HIP BELT
Measure the width of the hip between the greater trochanters with the person seated,
considering other factors such as growth, weight variations and clothing.
SUPPORT ANGLES
The hip belt angle directly influences the pelvis traction angle. In general, the traction
angle can be determined by imagining the therapist standing opposite the user, with
his or her hands supporting or correcting the user's posture; the belt should be extend-
ed to form the same angle as the arms of the therapist. The belt simply pulls towards
the point where the therapist would push with his or her hands. If the therapist needs
to PUSH downwards and backwards, the belt must PULL downwards and backwards.
This concept also works with obliquity, rotation and other asymmetric postures.
Considerations:
A support angle of 60° to the seat places the hip belt in anterior and inferior position to the ASIS,
which reduces the tendency of the patient with a posterior pelvis inclination to slide underneath
the belt.
Higher support to the rear post helps to position users with anterior pelvic inclination. A support
angle of 30° pulls back the upper part of the pelvis, but can be problematic for users with neutral
or posterior pelvic inclination.
The support angle may need to be modified to adapt to specific situations, such as wounds in the
pelvic area, unstable hip joints or gastric tubes.
1200-VELCRO-BUCKLE FASTENER PELVIC BELT
Define the required fastening point in the chair frame (back or seat), simultaneously fasten the
attachment slides and rings using the support screw.
Align the cushioning pad on the patient at pelvis level and fasten as appropriate using the strap
in the regulating slides.
The central Velcro strips allow the harness to be opened and closed.
Finally, fasten the central buckle and pull on the nylon dobby to adjust to the required compres-
sion.
1201-VELCRO FASTENER PELVIC BELT
Define the required fastening point in the chair frame (back or seat), simultaneously fasten the
attachment slides and rings using the support screw. Align the cushioning pad on the patient at
pelvis level and fasten as appropriate using the strap in the regulating slides.
The central Velcro strips allow the harness to be opened and closed
1202-BUCKLE FASTENER PELVIC BELT
Define the required fastening point in the chair frame (back or seat), simultaneously fasten the
attachment slides and rings using the support screw. Align the cushioning pads on the patient at
pelvis level and fasten both using the central buckle, then pull on the nylon dobbies in order to
achieve the required compression.
MEASUREMENT FOR A LEG HARNESS
When selecting a harness for leg abduction, measure from the ASIS (anterior superior
iliac spine), up to the point where the inner thigh touches the seat.
1203-LEG ABDUCTOR STRAPS
Define the chair frame points to secure the rings to the frame.
As these are individual supports for each leg, each strap has attachment points on the ends.
Initially fasten the lower strap to the rear part of the seat frame or the lower part of the seat back.
Wrap the belt around the thigh, passing it through the perineal zone and fastening the other end
either to the bottom of the back or again to the seat frame.
Adjust using the slides, pulling firmly on the rings on the end of the adjustment strap.
1206-LEG ABDUCTOR HARNESS
Define the chair frame points to secure the rings to the frame.
This support system is made up of a base upon which the patient will be seated.
The rear part has 2 adjustable fastening straps.
The front part has 2 perineal straps which wrap around the thigh.
The ends have 2 support belts with an adjustment system; these belts are attached to the ring
which was placed previously on the chair frame. The perineal strap and the support belt are joined
by way of a button-buckle system to release the patient. Regulate support by pulling on the belts.
ANTERIOR TRUNK SUPPORT SPECIFICATIONS
Measure the width of the back. If the measurement is between 2 sizes, take into ac-
count other factors such as growth, weight variations and clothing.
1204-1205-TECHNICAL HARNESS JACKET WITH OR WITHOUT ZIP
The jacket has 4 attachment points on the chair frame, 2 on the back and another 2 on
the seat.
Fasten the rings to the chair frame at the required points; if they cannot be fastened to the frame,
fasten them directly to the chair cover attachment screws using the attachment slide.
The traction slides can be used to adjust the length of the straps.
The patient can be released from the vest using the buckles in the upper belts and the fastening
buttons in the lower section.
Model 1204 also includes a central zip in the middle of the vest for quicker release of the patient.
