severeosteoporosis, and/or thrombophlebitis. If
pain, numbness, swelling, or skin irritation occurs

1. Sizing and Molding
the biceps and
forearm cuffs: The
biceps and forearm
cuffs are designed to
be trimmed to fit each
patient. Using scissors,
trim enough panels from both sides of each
cuff so that the ends of the cuffs do not
overlap when on the patient. Note: The blue
foam liner should extend 1/2" beyond the
white Wire-Foam™.To adjust the position of
the forearm and biceps cuffs, loosen the
screws (4), position the cuffs, and retighten
the screws.
2. Donning the unit: Unfasten forearm and
biceps straps. Place orthosis on the arm, with
the hinge on the medial (inside) side of the
arm. Note: The unit can also be placed on the
lateral side (outside) of the arm; however,the
black knob is easier to adjust when wearing
the unit on the medial side. Position the axis
of the hinge centered at the elbow joint. Mold
the biceps cuffand the forearm cuff around
the arm, and fasten the straps with the hook
and loop closurefor a snug, comfortable fit.
Note: Pulling on the welded end of each strap
will tighten the strap.
3. Position elbow: Position the elbow at its
active end range, in either flexion or extension.
The active end range is the extent to which the
arm can be flexed or extended without help.
4. Engage gearing mechanism: Pull the
engagement knob (1) outward and pivoting
the position adjustment knob (2) forward
towards the wrist. The black engagement knob
