Pressure points / problem-solving
Remove the orthosis from your foot. Pull the valve ring to allow air to flow into the cushion.
Spread the cushion filling evenly at the pressure point. Re-fit the orthosis (see How to
use). Using a finger, check that there are enough small spheres in the cushion between the
pressure point and the outer lower shell.
Showering / washing
You can shower with the product if your doctor has given you permission to do so. The
orthosis, especially the cover, must be protected from water (e.g. by a shower protector)
if you do so.
Sleeping
Before you go to sleep, place a towel, such as a hand towel, underneath the device so that
the bed sheets are not damaged.
