More On Ottobock Malleo Immobilizer Night Splint

Application Instructions:

• To apply the orthosis, completely open it and position the foot in the middle of the orthosis with the knee flexed
• Close the ankle strap and set the hook and loop closure to a comfortable length
• Close the foot and calf strap similarly
• Extend the knee to ensure that the ankle and foot straps are firmly in place. Readjust the hook and loop closure, if necessary
• The hook and loop closures that support dorsal flexion can be incrementally adjusted to increase or reduce the angle of the foot
   

Cleaning:

• Use a slightly moistened cloth to clean the outside of the orthosis. Hand-wash the textile elements in 30 degree C warm water with a standard mild detergent. Soap residues can cause skin irritations; therefore, rinse the orthosis thoroughly so that all soap residue is removed. Let air dry. Do not expose to the sun and do not use oven or radiator heat for drying.
   

Warning:

• The patient is to be instructed in the proper use/care of the product. The initial fitting and application of the product must be carried out by trained, qualified personnel only.
• The daily duration of use and period of application are dependent on medical indication by the physician.
• The product is designed for use on one patient only. Parts to be fitted and those parts that come directly into contact with the skin can cause functional and hygienic risks if the orthosis is used by another person.
• An orthosis/support applied too tightly to the body can cause local pressure and, in some cases, even restrict adjacent vessels or nerves. Do not apply the product too tightly. Consult a physician immediately if you experience unusual changes (such as increase in pain).
• This product is not flame-resistant. Keep the product away from flames or other heat sources. The product should not come into contact with grease or acidic agents, unguents and lotions, as this can reduce the useful life especially of pads.
• Damage caused by wear and tear. Before each use, the orthosis must be checked for functional reliability and for possible wear or damage.
• If a closure or any other part of the orthosis shows any signs of wear, the orthosis should no longer be used. Improper changes to the product are not permitted
