PUTTING ON THE APPLIANCE
ADAPTING FOR THE DOCTOR/TECHNICIAN
1 Ensure that all straps have been adjusted to maximum length; only open the white clip buckle closure (fig. A) and the
orange-coloured hook closure (strap number [3]) (fig. B).
2 Position the elbow pocket with forearm support at elbow height (make sure that it is not too low). The elbow pocket
must be on the outside with the Velcro® closure facing upwards.
3 Close the waist strap with the white clip buckle closure (fig. C) and tighten using the appropriate Velcro® closure (fig.
D). If the strap is too long, remove the Y-shaped Velcro® closure, cut the strap to length and replace the Y-shaped
Velcro® closure again.
4 Align the elbow pocket with the luxated clavicle so that they form a line and insert the elbow into the elbow pocket (fig.
E). Regulate the size of the elbow pocket using the appropriate Velcro® closure (fig. F).
5 The wrist strap (number [2]) is attached around the forearm and closed using the Velcro® closure at the wrist (fig.
G). The wrist strap can be shortened if required. To do this, cut the protruding section. If necessary, the strap can be
passed from the wrist to the hand.
6 Grasp the shoulder cap and place on the luxated clavicle (make sure that it is not positioned too far laterally) (fig. H).
7 Guide the strap with the orange-coloured hook closure under the contralateral armpit and hook to the pin on the
shoulder cap (fig. I). Close the relevant Velcro® closure; (fig. K); the rubberised end piece must be located precisely
over the orange-coloured marking (this acts as a reference for the patient).
8 Tighten the contralateral straps with the Y-shaped Velcro® closures (fig. L, M, N). If the straps are too long, remove the
Y-shaped Velcro® closure, cut the straps to length and replace the Y-shaped Velcro® closure again.
9 Tension the vertical strap on the back (fig. O), then the vertical strap on the front (fig. P).
10 Check to make sure all straps are tensioned.
REMOVING THE ORTHOSIS
1 Open the tensioning strap (this can be recognised by the large rubberised end piece; number [4]), but do not pull it out
(fig. R).
2 Unhook the orange-coloured closure (strap number [3]) from the pin on the shoulder cap (fig. S) (if need be, first loosen
the Velcro® closure with the rubberised end piece).
3 Open the wrist strap (fig. T).
4 Open the white clip buckle closure (fig. U) (waist strap) and carefully remove the orthosis; avoid sudden movements
(fig. V).

PUTTING ON THE APPLIANCE FOR THE PATIENT
1 Make sure that the tensioning strap (this can be recognised by the large rubberised end piece; number [4]) is open.
2 Unhook only the white clip buckle closure (fig. A) (stomach strap, number [1]) and the orange-coloured hook closure
(contralateral strap on the front, number [3]) (fig. B).
3 Position the arm pocket with forearm support so that it is at the height of the elbow (make sure it is not too low). The
arm pocket must be on the outside with the Velcro® closure facing upwards.
4 Close the waist strap with the white clip buckle closure (fig. C).
5 Align the elbow pocket in such a way that it forms a line with the luxated collarbone; then guide the elbow into the arm
pocket (fig. E).
6 Close the wrist strap (number [2]) around the wrist (fig. G).
7 Grasp the shoulder cap and place on the luxated collarbone (make sure that it is not positioned too far laterally) (fig. H).
8 Guide the strap with the orange-coloured buckle under the contralateral armpit and hook into the pin on the shoulder
cap (fig. I). Close the appropriate Velcro® closure (fig. K); tighten until the rubberised end piece is positioned over the
orange-coloured marking.
9 Tighten the tensioning strap (number [4]) and secure with the Velcro® closure (fig. Q).
