Fitting Instructions
1. With knee slightly bent, place the
brace on your leg with the hinge
on the affected side of your knee.
Align the hinge so that the Ossur
logo is at the top of your kneecap
and the front of the hinge is at the
center of the side of your leg.
5. Close the lower buckle (blue
dot) first, followed by the top
buckle (yellow dot). Make sure
that the calf strap is positioned
above the widest part of your
calf. Use the palm of your hand
to close the buckles, pressing
firmly until you hear them click.
6. Your brace should be set to
provide adequate pain relief with
the SmartDosing®scale set at
the middle indicator. However,
depending on your level of pain or
volume fluxuations due to weight
gain/loss or swelling, you can adjust
the strap tension easily by turning
the dials. Turning the dials clockwise
(the indicator moving toward the.+)
will increase the tension while
turning the dials counter clockwise
(the indicator moving toward the -)
will decrease the tension. Remember
to keep your leg slightly bent when
using the SmartDosing®dials.
7. Check the final position of the
brace on your leg. When your leg is
slightly bent, the Ossur logo on the
hinge should be aligned with the
top of your kneecap and the front
edge of the hinge cap should be at
the center of the side of your leg.
Hint: If you find it hard to align the brace
and buckle it at the same time, simply
place the brace on your slightly bent leg,
put the buckles in the correct receiving
keyholes WITHOUT closing the buckles,
and pull up your leg into place.
Once aligned correctly, continue with
step 2-7.

Break-In Procedure
When starting to use the brace, it is
recommended to gradually build up
to full time use, so the skin can get
used to the brace.
Skin irritation issues may occur for
some users. If you have sensitive
skin, it is recommended to use the
Unloader One®X as tolerated.
- If redness appears, usage should
be decreased.
- If problems persist, discontinue
brace use and consult your health
care professional or practitioner
regarding other liner options.
If no skin issues arise you can build
up to full time usage more quickly.

How to Remove
the Unloader One®X:
1. Open both upper and
lower Quick Fit Buckles.
2. Remove the buckles
from their keyholes.
3. Remove the brace from
your leg.
