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.
To fit observe the following aspects:
A-Kneepads with lateral springs.
Insert kneepad ensuring it meets the triangular bone (patella) window with the kneecap placed
so that the patella surrounds the external outline of the kneecap. The lateral springs should be
parallel, placed on the medial and lateral line of the knee.
B-Kneepad with polycentric / monocentric joint.
The joints should be parallel to each other, and the mechanical shaft must meet the anatomic
shaft exactly.
C-Flexo-extension kneepad.
The joints should remain parallel to each other, the mechanical shaft should exactly meet the
anatomical shaft. In order to regulate the range of mobility of flexo-extension, before adapting
regulate the degrees of flexion and extension desired, which will lift the lid of the joint. Blockage
takes place at an extension of 0°, the flexo-extension can be regulated at intervals of 0-15-30-
60-90 degrees, by inserting the lock in the different corresponding orifices represented on the
mobility scale of the joint (close the lid). If a kneepad has been chosen that incorporates velcro
pins, these must be the last to be tightened.
Instructions for the orthopaedic technician:
When adjustments to the knee joint are necessary. Adaptation of the joints (monocentric, polycen-
tric, flexo-extension). Extract the joints, over the patients leg, put the joint in place, shaping it
and ensuring the mechanical joint shaft meets the anatomical joint shaft. Observing the morphol-
ogy of the femoral condyles, avoid any pressure on the thigh and calf by the upper and lower end
plates, carry out this procedure on both internal and external joint, be aware of the differences in
morphology.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRESERVATION AND CLEANING
Stick the velcros to each other (if the orthesis has any), wash periodically by hand with a damp
cloth and a neutral soap. To dry the orthesis, use a dry towel to absorb most of the dampness and
leave to dry at room temperature. Do not hang up or iron and do not expose to direct heat sources
such as stoves, heaters, radiators, direct sunlight etc. During use or during washing do not use
alcohols, ointments or solvents. If the orthesis is not properly dried any detergent residues could
irritate the skin and deteriorate the product.
Instructions on removing and placing the lateral reinforcements inserted in the kneepad, to en-
able cleaning.
Pull from both ends of the kneepad until the joints or springs appear through the upper opening.
Once the cleansing has been carried out and when the kneepad is completely dry, reinsert the
reinforcements.
Precautions: To ensure the therapeutic effectiveness during normal use of the kneepads, the re-
inforcements should never be handled or removed from their home, other than for cleaning pur-
poses or under strict recommendation by the prescribing doctor or orthopaedic tecnician.
