How to use Horizon 637 Lumbar Support

Horizon Brace Preparation:

1. Place the pull-tabs 2 inches (5 cm) from the plastic in the back of the Horizon brace. Pull the ends of the Horizon brace away from each other ensuring that it is fully extended. 
2. With brace extended fully, place one lateral panel on midline on each side panel of the brace. Press down to secure to brace.
3. When Horizon brace is properly fit to the patient, the lateral panels should fit at patient midline.

Aspen Horizon Brace Application:

1. Apply the fully extended back brace making sure the back panel is centered and low on the back. Apply the brace tightly around the abdomen, the right side overlapping the left.
2. When applied properly, both the upper and lower edge of the brace should be snug. If there is any gap, reapply the brace and angle the ends to insure a snug fit at both the upper and lower edge.

Note: For certain patients, the ends must be steeply angled.

Horizon 637 Brace Tightening:

1. Slip your thumbs through the holes in the pull-tabs. Pull away from your body. 
2. The left pull tab controls lower compression and the right pull-tab controls the upper compression. Adjust the compression as needed.
3. When tightened, secure the pull-tabs to the hook-and-loop in front of the brace.

Aspen Horizon 637 Brace Adjustment:

1. Adjust the upper and/or lower compression by loosening or tightening the pull tabs as needed.
2. When patient is seated slightly loosening the upper portion may be beneficial.
