Not suitable for: allergic, inflamed or injury-related skin changes over the area it covers (for example swelling or redness); impaired circulation or lymphatic soft-tissue swelling; nerve-related disturbance of sensation or of skin nourishment (trophism) in that area, with or without damage to the skin; prolonged, rigid immobilisation, especially in older people.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates semi-rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with semi-rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

• Wash COXA-HiT® gently in lukewarm water (30 °C) with mild detergent and air dry
• Do not dry it in the tumble dryer, on the heating or in the microwave
• Close the hook-and-loop fasteners before washing; these will remain functional longer and damage to other garments can be avoided

Sporlastic prints these steps in the instructions for use supplied with the product.

• Open the hook-and-loop fasteners of the support.
• Loosely attach the upper waist belt to the side of the large fleece on the leg section.
• The waist belt of the support is placed about 5 cm below the navel.
• While doing so, reach with your fingers into the gripping aid provided at the end of the hip straps.
• Apply the support so that it creates a comfortable compression. Now take the upper hip belt that you fastened loosely at the side and pull it firmly over the belt underneath. The silver-coloured compression control strip should be under full tension; if it is not, COXA-HiT® has been applied too loosely.
• To put the leg section in place, use the integrated gripping aid on the inner thigh strap.
• The thigh belt is now closed circularly.
• The SPORLASTIC compression control strip attached here is fully tensioned when correctly applied.
• The enclosed cold/hot pad is used as directed by the doctor for thermotherapy and to increase the compression effect.
• Please follow the application instructions on the enclosed cold/hot pad.
• The SPORLASTIC compression control strip shows at a glance whether COXA-HiT has been applied with enough tension: fully tensioned means it is on correctly, slack means it is too loose. Doctor, patient or nursing staff can all check it.
• In postoperative use, COXA-HiT can be combined with an anti-thrombosis stocking.
