More On Breg ShortRunner Airmesh Knee Brace

Application Instructions For Knee Braces:

• The wrap-on brace is applied with the closures in the front of the leg and the kneecap cutout centered over the knee. Secure the closures firmly
• The slip-on brace is applied by pulling the brace on with the kneecap cutout centered over the knee
• Both the wrap-on and pull-on braces have tightening straps. The straps should be tightened firmly, starting with the two straps closest to the knee.

Adjustment Instructions:

• Polycentric hinge with stops:
  - Both flexion and extension stops are supplied with the brace.The brace comes with a 10° extension stop already installed. The stops are labeled in degrees as follows:
  - Extension Stops:
  • 0°, 10°, 20°, 30° & 40°
  - Flexion Stops:
  • 45°, 60°, 75° & 90°
  (no flexion stops are installed upon shipment)
  - To change the stops, first, completely remove the screw as shown. Then remove the stop. Insert the new stop, align with the holes in the hinge, then reinsert the screw.
  - Using a Phillips head screw driver, ensure that the screws are seated in the recess and completely tightened.
  - Both medial (inside) and lateral (outside) hinge stops must be identical in degree.
• NOTE: Due to soft tissue compression, we recommend the use of extension stops at least 10° greater than the desired limit. (e.g., if you desire a 10° extension limit, use the 20° extension stop).
   

Tips on use and care of knee brace:

• After exposure to salt water or dirt, thoroughly rinse the brace with fresh water and allow to air dry.
• A dry lubricant, such as Teflon spray, may be used on the hinge occasionally. Do not use wet lubricants.
• The hinge assemblies may be removed to allow easier washing of the sleeve and straps.
• The side bars may be bent to accommodate individual legs. Bend in equal amounts above and below the hinge.
• Periodically inspect the sleeve, straps, and hinges for excessive wear. Be sure all screws are tight and stop in place.
