Understanding Your BREG Knee Brace

Before we dive into the steps of putting on your BREG knee brace, it’s important to understand what exactly it is and how it works.

What is a BREG Knee Brace?

A BREG knee brace is a type of orthopedic device that helps stabilize the knee joint during physical activity or after an injury. It’s designed to provide support by reducing pain while also preventing further damage to the joint.

Types of BREG Knee Braces

BREG makes different types of braces for various needs:

  • Post-Op: For individuals who have recently undergone surgery.
  • Rehabilitation: For those who require additional support post-injury
  • CI (comfort innovations): Customizable braces with adjustable hinges that meet patient-specific requirements.
  • Crossover: Ideal for patients suffering from osteoarthritis
  • Women’s Specific: Special designs targeting female fit and comfort features

Each type has its own unique set of instructions when it comes to fitting and adjustments.

Getting Started: Required Materials

Putting together your materials beforehand could save valuable time during this process:

  • A mirror – essential whenever possible as sometimes extra assistance may be required which might not always happen if one cannot see what’s happening in rear areas.

Pro Tip: You can pretend you’re doing a fashion show! Imagine yourself walking down the runway with a brand new outfit…or just focus calmly…either way works fine too!

  • If available follow here recommendation slip provided within the BREG packaging.

Important Note: All respects must be paid to this slip- it will provide additional information required especially for CI braces.

  • Position the knee brace in front of where you are sitting or putting it on, ensuring you have easy access to all components.

Putting On Your BREG Knee Brace

Are you ready? Let’s get started!

Step One: Unfasten Straps and Belts

Before adjusting the BREG knee brace, unfasten any straps and belts that may already be attached. Ensure they aren’t twisted for smooth fastening later on when fitting occurs.

Pro Tip: If everything is tangled up like a plate of spaghetti noodles (yikes!), take a deep breath and calmly begin by sorting them out one at a time!

Step Two: Place the Knee into the Brace Sleeve

The sleeve provides warmth combined with compression reducing swelling during post-op use.

Slide your foot into the brace sleeve first, followed by pulling upward ensuring correct positioning around patella central position.

Reminder
Take extra care if using AQUA -X since slippery moisture can add difficulty if not dried fully after shower use.

Attaching Straps

At this point make sure your component parts snap or screw correctly in place tight enough that nothing moves:

  • Adjust lateral hinge sliders as illustrated within specifications for each type mentioned above.
