More On Optec Expander MAX LSO Back Brace

Patient Fitting Instructions:

• Before applying the brace, deflate before every use. Turn air release valve counter-clockwise to deflate. Once deflated, turn valve clockwise to lock. Place Expander Max brace around your waist and center the back plastic panel on your back.
• Align front plastic panel on your abdomen and press firmly with your left hand.
• Pull right side of soft panel with velcro snug over the left velcro attachment.
• Proceed to connect the Hand Air Pump to the air intake valve. Proceed to use Hand Air Pump to inflate brace by pumping until the gauge reaches green-yellow area (10-14 psi). Do not exceed to red area to prevent damage to the brace. Detach Hand Air Pump from valve and Expander Max is ready to wear.
   

Care and General Guidelines:

• Remove plastic front and back panels.
• Deflate completely and turn the air release valve clockwise tightly to shut off and prevent water from entering the brace.
• Place Expander Max in the mesh laundry bag included to prevent damage.
• Use neutral detergent and select light cycle.
• When drying, do not expose to direct heat (heater or sunlight); air dry.
• Never iron or dry clean. If not rinsed well after washing, residual soap may cause skin irritation and product deterioration.
• It is not uncommon for your body to change size under the spinal brace, because of the compression of the brace and because of a reduction in post-surgical swelling.
• If you change enough in size that you can no longer achieve good compression, see your practitioner for a follow-up visit to resize or replace your brace.
• Your practitioner knows your medical status and is using the spinal brace as one part of your total care.
• It is important to follow his or her instructions exactly, even if they differ from some of the preceding guidelines.
