Aspen FLX 627 LSO Lumbar Brace, Universal Size

Description:

Enhancing the proven design and function of the OTS product line, the FLX line of inelastic braces offers a conservative treatment solution for patients experiencing lower back pain. Structural improvements have been added to enhance stability and support while maintaining a sleek, breathable profile. These one-size adjustable braces are flexible by design, providing targeted compression and stability to support patients and aid in pain relief.

Instruction:

1. SIZE ADJUSTMENT

A. To adjust the size of the brace, peel up the inside end of each side panel.

B. Adjust as necessary to achieve a proper fit and reattach.

C. Brace sizes follow closely to standard pants sizes. Size ranges are only guidelines.

NOTE: Once the brace is applied, the sides of the brace may require further adjustment to achieve a snug fit without too much overlap at the front of the brace.

2. PREPARATION

A. Place the pull tabs 2 inches (5 cm) from the plastic in the back of the brace. Pull the

ends of the brace away from each other ensuring that the brace is fully extended.

B. With brace extended fully, place one lateral panel on midline on each side panel of the

brace. Press down to secure to brace.

C. When Horizon brace is properly fit to the patient, the lateral panels should fit at

patient’s midline.

3. APPLICATION

A. Apply the fully extended brace making sure the back panel is centered and low on

the back.

B. Apply the brace tightly, with the right side overlapping the left. When applied properly,

both the upper and lower edge of the brace should be snug. If they are not, reapply the

brace. If needed, angle the ends to insure a snug fit at both the upper and lower edges.

NOTE: For certain patients, the ends must be steeply angled.

4. TIGHTENING

A. Slip your thumbs through the holes in the pull tabs. Pull away from your body.

B. The left pull tab controls lower compression and the right pull tab controls the upper

compression. Adjust the compression as needed.

C. When tightened, secure the pull tabs to the loop in front of the brace.

5. ADJUSTMENT

A. Adjust the upper and/or lower compression by loosening or tightening the pull tabs

as needed.

B. When patient is seated, slightly loosening the upper portion may be beneficial.
