1. Introduction
1.1. Foreword
Our MKS
®
Modular Corset System straightens
and stabilizes defined areas of the vertebral
column in order to achieve postural corrections
which actively support rehabilitation in specific
indications.
Our MKS
®
programme is comprised of a
modular system which can be divided into
an orthesis set consisting of rigid supportive
elements and a set of partially elastic,
smoothly-fitting back-and-body bandages
which adapt comfortably to the body.
By combining the individual components of
the two sets an exact adjustment to both the
respective indication and the patient can be
achieved.
1.2. Customer information
For your own safety, please read this User
Instructions carefully before using the brace.
Proper use and operation of the brace will
only be possible if you have carefully read
and understood all instructions, notes and
procedures. Should you have any doubts with
regard to the User Instructions, or should any
of the instructions, operations or safety notes
be unclear, please contact your local dealer
or the manufacturer albrecht GmbH directly,
before using the brace. This holds particularly
true for the safety notes.
1.3. Mode of operation
The
MKS
®
Osteo flex
spinal orthosis functions
according to the reclination principle. The
two shoulder straps attached to the fexible
back piece straighten the vertebral column to
relieve the thoracic spine. The wide lumbar
bandage with the additional tensioning straps
straightens and hence relieves the lumbar
vertebral column. The reclination straps are
attached to the lumbar bandage through
additional lateral straps. Hereby rotation is
limited and stabilisation is ensured.
1.4. Application
The brace must only be used for the orthotic
treatment of the vertebral
column.
The
MKS
®
Osteo flex
assists treatment in the
application area from the
third thoracic vertebral body
to the fifth lumbar vertebral
body in adults. It provides
stabilization of the entire
spine. The
MKS
®
Osteo
flex
is intended to help you
achieve a lifestyle that is
as independent as possible
while still meeting your
needs and matching your
personal capabilities.
1.5. Scope of delivery
The
MKS
®
Osteo flex
is delivered to you ready
for use, in the size you ordered, with User
Instructions and labeling on the product.
