Applying the Brace
1. With knee slightly bent, place
the brace with the hinge against
affected side of your knee
Place it high: Make sure the
Ossur logo on hinge cap is in line
with the top of your kneecap.
Place it back: When looking
from the side, front of hinge cap
should be at middle of the knee.
Depending on the shape of
your leg and knee, you might
need to adjust the positioning
but being mindful of having the
hinge correctly positioned will
help prevent brace migration.
5. ∙Start by fastening the one dot
tab, directly below the knee
∙Then fasten the two dot tab and
so on until all tabs are in place
Readjust tightness and positioning
if necessary, brace should sit
firmly but comfortably on leg.
6. Move the strap behind your leg
and put it through the plastic
D-ring. Fasten the strap tab at “5”.
This setting should provide adequate
pain relief. However, depending
on your level of pain or volume
fluxuations due to weight gain/loss or
swelling, you can adjust the tension by
placing the strap end more toward “0”
or “10” indicator lines. Placing it more
toward “10” will increase the tension
while closer to “0” will decrease the
tension. Remember to keep your leg
as shown in picture number 6 when
adjusting the strap.
Removing the Brace
1. Undo the strap and remove
from the plastic D-ring.
2. Release all tabs and remove
the brace from the leg.
3. Refasten all tabs and the
strap to avoid tangling.
