Sporlastic prints these steps in the instructions for use supplied with the product.
- We recommend wearing a stocking under the brace.
- Open the figure-of-eight strap at its two rear hook-and-loop ends, and open the orange click fasteners on the lower leg and foot sections.
- Place your foot, at a 90° angle, in the opened brace. Position your foot so that the outer ankle is centred in the recess of the side splint.
- Position the enclosed cooling pad from the inside, between the stocking and MALLEODYN® S3. Its position can be varied to suit your injury.
- Click in the orange foot fastener on the inside of the foot and retighten the strap with the hook-and-loop fastener.
- Close the click fastener on the lower leg by inserting the orange insertion lug into the plastic shell, then fold it back and click the push button into the plastic shell. If necessary, regulate the tension of the lower leg strap via the upper hook-and-loop fastener.
- Close the figure-of-eight strap by crossing it over the top of the foot and leading it back towards the calf, where you fasten it with the hook-and-loop ends.
- Check the fit of the brace. It is important that your ankles are free of pressure and held centrally on the leg by the anatomical side splints. The position of the side splints can be adjusted through the interaction of the front and rear hook-and-loop fasteners; if that is needed, please consult your orthopaedic and medical supply dealer.
- Position the cooling pad with the textile side against the skin, anywhere inside the brace between the stocking and the brace. We recommend intermittent cooling in the acute phase.
- Keep the cooling pad in the refrigerator only, never in the freezer. Please ask your doctor about using it.
- Use MALLEODYN S3 fully assembled, with the cooling pad, immediately after the injury and in the acute phase.
- Taking the brace down in three steps - step 1: remove the cooling pad from the fully assembled brace.
- Step 2: release the side splint with one click. Press on the orange outer strip and pull the splint out upwards.
- Step 3: remove the figure-of-eight strap at the bottom of the front edge by opening its hook-and-loop fastening.
