Moulding Instructions

STEP 1: 
Heat the brace between 67° and 108° (152°F and 225°F) until it becomes soft and elastic. The plastic must feel doughy when pinched between two fingers.

STEP 2: 
Once the brace has become soft and elastic, you can drape the brace on the body. Make sure that the temperature of the brace is not too hot for comfort or at risk of burning your patient. Small padding, about 3 mm (1/8”), can be placed at the bony apex and removed after the molding.

STEP 3: 
Place your patient in the desired position and wait for the brace to harden. To avoid rippling of the zipper, keep a tension on the top end of the zipper, or on both ends.

Recommendations/Precautions

  • Moulding should be done only by a health professional, or somebody trained in bracing, casting, or similar medical devices.
  • This is for a single-patient use. It cannot be transferred, even if it had been washed thoroughly.
  • Do not use a heat gun as it may burn the brace.
  • Do not drape the brace if it is too hot to avoid skin burns or discomfort.
  • It is recommended to check the blood circulation often. If the brace becomes too tight, advise the client to unzip, loosen, or remove if possible, the brace and call their health professional.
  • It is recommended to check the skin often. If the skin shows signs of maceration, irritation (redness), rashes, or other skin problems, advise the client to remove the brace (if possible) and immediately call their health professional.
  • Do not heat the brace over 108° (225°F), because the fabric and/or the zipper could burn or melt.
  • Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or patient is established.
