How to Apply CTI Vapor Ligament Knee Brace?

• Unfasten all straps from the outer side of the brace.
• With the knee bent in approximately 90 degrees, place the brace over your knee such that the patella is centered between the condyle pads.
  Note: This places the hinge slightly above the joint line so the brace can properly seat itself when you stand
• Beginning with the strap just below the knee (lower cruciate strap), fasten the strap snugly above the calf muscle as this will aid in the brace suspension.
Note: All straps can be trimmed or adjusted to length.
• Next, snugly fasten the bottom strap by inserting it through the D-ring.
• Continue with the strap just above the knee (upper cruciate strap), followed by the top strap. Snugly fasten both straps.
  Note: Over-tightening the two top straps can cause the brace to migrate.
