stress relief of the lumbar vertebrae via
correction of lordosis.
Indications
All indications requiring partial relief by
reduction of lordosis of the lumbar spine
such as:
• Facet joint arthrosis
• Protrusion/prolapse of an
intervertebral disk
• Lower back pain (lumbago)
• Lower back pain with sciatica
• Lumbar vertebral canal stenosis
• Postural muscle imbalance in the
lumbar spine
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spondylosis
• Painful conditions of the lumbosacral
junction
Contraindications
• Open wounds in the area of the
orthosis
• Respiratory diseases such as COPD
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
®
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended users and patient target
groups
Healthcare professionals and patients,
including persons who play a supporting
role in care, are the intended users for
this device, provided that they have
received briefing on this from healthcare
professionals.
Patient target group: Healthcare
professionals should provide care to
adults and children, applying the
available information on the
measurements/sizes and required
functions/indications, in line with the

Note on wearing
Basically, the orthotic can be worn all
day long. The special cut in the groin area
(Comfort Zone) ensures that the fit of the
support is comfortable and just right.
However, the length of time you wear it
should depend on your needs.
Fitting instructions
• Before putting on the orthotic, please
loosen the straps, so that it can be put
on without pulling. To do so, unfasten
the hook and loop fastener ends of the
straps and loosen these by placing
them further back on the velour on the
belt (Fig. 1).
• The label on the right-hand inner
fastener has information on what way
to put on the orthotic (Fig. 2).
• Now, slide your left hand into the inner
hand strap on the left-hand fastener
