More Information

• Instructions for use:
  - Before wearing the knee brace, the joint splints must be adjusted by a specialist with training in body shaping.
  - The knee brace has a joint for the inner part of the leg (medial) and for the outer part of the leg (lateral).
  - To shape, remove the fastening straps from the joint and take the splints out of the knee brace.
  - Now the joint splints can be shaped to fit the shape of the leg, so that they remain flat and do not create pressure points.
  - The splints are then put back into their pockets and the straps adjusted, without being fully closed.
  - Now pull the knee brace onto the leg, so that the silicone opening is centered on the kneecap (patella).
  - Firstly fasten the leg straps, then those on the thigh. Now the knee brace should rest comfortably on the leg, without any pressure points.
  - Slight corrections can be made to the shape of the splints without having to remove them.
  Caution: If the splints cause pressure and redness, remove the knee brace and have it checked by a healthcare professional.
