Wear and Care Guide:

Your doctor/orthopedist has prescribed this brace to assist with a particular condition. As the treatment can vary from case to case your doctor or orthopedist will provide specific information about:

• Applying your Orthosis
• Weaning (Acclimatization) schedule to achieve optimum hours of daily wearing (if applicable).
• Duration of use
• Acceptable activities
• Activities to avoid
• Who to contact in case of a problem

 

Cleaning your Orthosis:

• It is important to clean the orthosis on a daily basis. For best results use rubbing alcohol. Alternatively use a soapy cloth and rinse with a damp cloth and towel dry.
• Always check your orthosis before putting it back on to ensure that it is undamaged and free from dirt.

 

Skin Care:

It is very important to prevent skin breakdown (sore, red, raw skin). The skin underneath the orthosis needs to be toughened up, especially where the orthosis applies the most pressure.

• Pay special attention to pink areas of the skin where orthosis pressure is highest.
• For children wearing a diaper (nappy), the brace is fitted over the diaper (nappy).
• This brace can be worn over clothing such as tights, tracksuit bottoms, leggings, etc.
• If skin irritation/breakdown persists, contact your fitter or clinic for advice.

 

NOTE:

• Any special Doctor’s / Orthotist orders should always supersede the general guideline information given in this guide.
