More On Tubingen Hip Abduction Orthosis

Donning:


  • The right way to put on the Tubingen hip flexion and abduction orthosis.
  • First, put on the shoulder harness from behind. Then, fasten the hook-and-loop closure so that the caterpillar shown in the illustration is visible in front.
  • The thigh supports are lying at your childs sides.
  • Pull the child toward your abdomen so that his or her legs are flexed at the hips. Then guide the leg supports underneath the thighs.
  • When the child's feet are supported on your abdomen, the beaded cords can be attached in the white closures without tension at the length prescribed by the doctor. Leave a space of about 4 cm or 2 finger widths between the upper edge of the hook-and-loop closure.
     

Cleaning:



  • The orthosis is corrosion-protected and washable. The terry cloth covers for the shoulder harness and the hook-and-loop closure may be removed and washed. Use the supplied replacement covers and hook-and-loop closure during cleaning.
  • Press on the sides of the closure with your thumbs, unhook the hook-and-loop closure from the plastic loops and remove the hook-and-loop closure.
  • Pull the terry cloth covers off the shoulder harness.
  • Wash the terry cloth cover and the fastened hook-and-loop closure in warm water at 40°C/104°F using standard mild detergent. Recommendation: wash in a mesh laundry bag. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Allow to air dry. Do not expose to direct heat (e.g. from the sun, an oven or radiator).
  • Slide the terry cloth covers onto the straps of the shoulder harness and engage the hookand-loop closure in the plastic loops. Ensure that the hook-and-loop closure engages properly.
