BRACE CARE
Liners and pads must be removed and cleaned regularly depending
upon your activity level and perspiration.
All liners and pads are held in place by hook fasteners and can easily
be removed from the frames, hinges and straps. Wipe or HAND WASH
with a MILD anti-bacterial soap, rinse well, then AIR DRY. Replace and
position properly by pressing firmly against the fasteners.
CLEANING HINGES
The hinges on your brace are pre-lubricated. If sand, dirt or water gets
inside the hinges, they may require cleaning and lubrication. Remove
the condyle pad, open the hinge screws with the provided Allen
wrench, and clean the hinge thoroughly and re-lubricate with any
common synthetic lubricant (grease) from a hardware store. Check
that the hinge is gliding smoothly and reassemble.
