• Do not wear for prolonged periods without medical supervision.
• The orthosis must not be placed in direct contact with damaged skin.
• This orthosis is a device for single-patient use. Do not reuse on multiple patients.
• When adjusting the straps, adjust to obtain a firm but comfortable fit.

• If any serious incident occurs, related to the device, the healthcare professional and/or the patient must report it to the manufacturer and to the competent authority in the country concerned.

Set up :
• A fitting is mandatory for a correct adaptation and a good understanding of the installation. The first installation will be carried out by a healthcare professional and subsequently by the user or someone close to them according to the same protocol.

The device can be worn over or under pants.

During the fitting, the applicator will have to conform, if necessary, the joints of the orthosis to adapt it to your morphology.

The device is placed in the correct direction when the GIBAUD logo is in front and at the top.

1. Loosen the two rear straps and fold the hook-and-loop part over the straps.
2. Unfasten the two front straps and fold the hook-and-loop part over the straps.
3. Open the orthosis completely.
4. Make sure to place the two blue patellar half-rings on either side of the patella and close the self-gripping opening/closing means, starting with the bottom one (see the illustrative diagram).
5. The order of closing the straps is done by following the numbering (from 1 to 4) indicated by point(s) in the circles (see the illustrative diagram).
6. Remove the protective sticker from the back of the heel pad. Slide one heel pad into each shoe under the original sole and stick them in place using the sticker.

Maintenance and conservation:
• Keep the orthosis and heel pad away from excessive heat sources.
• After removing the joints from the orthosis (see the illustrative diagram with the description of the steps), wash the orthosis and the heel pad by hand in warm soapy water (maximum 40°C); rinse thoroughly; wring gently; do not bleach; dry flat, away from excessive heat sources (e.g. radiator), do not tumble dry; do not iron; do not dry clean.
