Stabimed
Intended purpose
The Stabimed RICE is a knee support
brace with limitation of extension /
flexion.
Indications
All indications that require reinforce-
ment of the physiological stabilisation of
the knee joint and/or stress relief of the
joint, such as:
• Following injury to the collateral
ligament
• Following meniscal injury
• Following endoprostehtic intervention
• For knee instability
• For knee osteoarthritis
Contraindications
None known at present.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.

Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Setting the limits for flexion and
extension (can only be carried out by
an orthopaedic technician)
Extension restriction wedges, E (silver):
(stretch restriction): 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
Flexion restriction wedges, F (black)
(bend restriction): 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°
The medial (internal) and lateral
(external) degree settings must always
be the same.
1. If you do not install the wedges in the
knee brace, it will automatically be
set to 0° extension and flexion is not
limited.
2. To change the wedges, you need to
turn round the joint so that the joint
cover is pointing downwards. Select
the desired limitation using the
wedges included in the delivery. The
relevant degree setting is stamped on
the wedges.
3. Once you have inserted the wedge,
secure it by screwing in the screw
using the included screwdriver.
4. Move the brace joints and check that
the wedges are securely in place.
Important notes
Only change the extension and flexion
limits on instruction from your doctor or
orthotist.
