Corset Setting:

• To adjust the flaps to the desired length, first identify the correct sizing section for the waist circumference.
• Remove each flap from the corset pocket and fold each flap along the outer edges of the desired sizing section (SM-3X) as indicated by the red stitching.
• Note: It is suggested that the flaps are folded along the outer edge of the desired section during the initial fitting to ensure the correct length is chosen. For smaller waist circumferences, the ends of the flaps may have to be folded over more than once to fit inside the pocket. Once the flap length is confirmed, the flap may be trimmed with scissors along the outer edge of the red lines.
• Insert each flap into the corset pockets and smooth the pockets over each flap to secure them in place.
• The flap covered in hook material on the back should be on the left side and the flap with loop material on the back should be on the right side.
   

Placement and adjustment:

• With the Venum 1 TLSO corset open and the sternal panel attached to the right side only, slip your arms through the loops of the DLK as if putting on a backpack. Your caregiver should have already adjusted the DLK and the position of the right front floating panel specifically to the appropriate settings for your body.
• With the posterior plastic panel centered on your back, hold the right abdominal flap firmly with the right hand over the abdomen. Grasp the left flap with the left hand and stretch the flap outwards. Next, wrap the left flap around the body using the Velcro ends to secure the left flap over the right flap.
• Snap the left side of the sternal panel into the other side of the buckle.
   

Tighten:

• Pull the handle to the desired position. When the appropriate amount of tension is reached, place the hook backed handle down onto the brace to secure the fit.
   

DLK Adjustment:

• Pull the handle to the desired position. To shorten the cord length, remove the clip from the back pocket of the handle and wrap the cord through the clip loop until the desired length is achieved and place the clip back into the pocket. When the appropriate amount of tension is reached, place the hook backed handle down onto the brace to secure the fit.
