How to fit:

• To adjust the flaps to the desired length, first identify the correct sizing section for the waist circumference.
• Remove each flap from the corset pocket and fold each flap along the outer edges of the desired sizing section (SM-3X) as indicated by the red stitching.
• Note: It is suggested that the flaps are folded along the outer edge of the desired section during the initial fitting to ensure the correct length is chosen. For smaller waist circumferences, the ends of the flaps may have to be folded over more than once to fit inside the pocket. Once the flap length is confirmed, the flap may be trimmed with scissors along the outer edge of the red lines.
• Insert each flap into the corset pockets and smooth the pockets over each flap to secure them in place.
• The flap covered in hook material on the back should be on the left side and the flap with loop material on the back should be on the right side.
• Insert the posterior panel into the elastic.
• Wrap the hook and loop fastening strips around each side of the corset with the loop material on the exterior at the desired locations.
• Close the strip to form a loop over the corset.
• Fasten the 4 Velcro tabs with the white side down over the hook and loop fastening strips.
• Secure the lateral panels over the Velcro tabs.
• Open and extend the flaps of the brace. They should be fully extended each time it is applied and the handle should be placed near the patients lateral midline.
• Center both ends of the pulley device over the posterior panel. The flap with the handle should be on the left.
• Place the brace with the posterior panel centered at the lower back, over the spine.
• Hold the right abdominal flap firmly with the right hand over the abdomen. Grasp the left flap with the left hand and stretch the flap outwards. Next, wrap the left flap around the body using the Velcro ends to secure the left flap over the right flap.
• Pull the handle to the desired position. To shorten the cord length, remove the clip from the back pocket of the handle and wrap the cord through the clip loop until the desired length is achieved and place the clip back into the pocket. When the appropriate amount of tension is reached, place the hook backed handle down onto the brace to secure the fit.
