More On Optec Oasis TLSO

Oasis TLSO with DLK fitting instructions:

• With side closure attachment on the left side pre-attached to left front panel and the Sternal Panel of the DLK attached to left side only, slip your arms through the loops of the DLK as if putting on a backpack. Your caregiver should have already adjusted the DLK to the appropriate height.
• Proceed to attach right Velcro placement attachment to right front panel. Align the brace so that the front panel is centered on your abdomen and the back panel curve is aligned with the small of your back.
• Using the arthritic thumb grips, detach the bottom compression straps and pull straps simultaneously away from your body. Secure the left strap to the center of the orthosis followed by the right strap. Repeat for top straps if applicable.
• Snap the loose side of the Sternal Panel into the other side of the buckle. Your caregiver should have already adjusted the straps of the Sternal Panel so that the straps of the DLK sit comfortably on your shoulders.
• Pull the shoulder straps on the DLK simultaneously to the appropriate amount of tension, as originally directed by your caregiver.
• For best results, re-tighten all straps while laying on a flat surface with your knees bent and feet flat. Finally, ensure that orthosis fit is snug and does not cause any discomfort.
   

Oasis TLSO with ATE (Anterior Thoracic Extension) fitting instructions:

• Begin with side closure attachment on the left side pre-attached to left front panel and the strap on the Thoracic Attachment closed on the left side only. Your caregiver should have already adjusted the Thoracic Attachment and the position of the front panel specifically to your body.
• Slip left your left arm through the loop of the Thoracic Attachment so that the strap rests on your shoulder and the Rigid Front Panel is against your abdomen.
• Center the Back Plastic Panel on your back and position the waist grooves at your waist. Proceed to attach right Velcro placement attachment to right front panel.
• Snap the right strap of the Thoracic Attachment into the buckle.
• Using the arthritic thumb grips, detach the bottom compression straps and pull straps simultaneously away from your body. Secure the left strap to the center of the orthosis followed by the right strap. Repeat for top straps.
• For best results, re-tighten all straps while laying on a flat surface with your knees bent and feet flat. Finally, ensure that orthosis fit is snug and does not cause any discomfort.
   

Care and general guidelines:

• Before cleaning, remove plastic inserts from front and back panels.
• Hand wash at 86 F with mild soap.
• 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 adjust the straps enough to get 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 following guidelines.
