The VertaLoc Dynamic Knee Brace is Easy to Apply

All a user needs to do to apply this brace for a perfect, comfortable fit is to follow the following simple steps:

1. Situate the brace behind the knee with the widest part of the brace at the top.



2. Lightly wrap the top strap around the front of the leg to secure the brace at the top. Ensure the brace is positioned so the patella part of the knee is mostly exposed.



3. Wrap the bottom strap around the top of the calf. Ensure a snug fit.




4. The patella should still be centered under the hole on the front of the brace and the hinges should be uniformly positioned and centered around the knee. To proper positioning, make any needed adjustments.

To wash this item, first remove all fasteners and hinges. Use soap and warm water to wash by hand; then air dry. Never use a washer or dryer to care for this item.
