Fitting instructions
When delivered, the BORT StabiloPlus bridging brace is pre-set for maximum stabilisation. The bridging
frame is attached to the support via the cloth bag, the more rigid version of the splints can be found in
the splint bags. A splint set which is more flexible is included in the packaging. The additional abdominal
pressure plate is also attached to the support. If required, it can be removed. It serves to increase
abdominal counterpressure.

Open the support, loosen the side tension straps, place the support around the waist and attach both
closing sides using Velcro evenly one above the other with a slight pull of the hand straps. Ensure that
the support is placed centrally on the torso and that the lower support edge (antecubital fold on the
thigh) ends in the inguinal region. This is the only means to achieve an optimum effect from the BORT
StabiloPlus bridging brace. Tighten the two lower belt straps evenly first; as a next step tighten the upper
belt straps, enabling a guaranteed comfortable fit of the brace. If overtightened, the support may become
wrinkled. During the course of therapy, it may become necessary to reduce the stabilising effect of the
BORT StabiloPlus bridging brace. This decision is taken by the treating physician.
For this, remove the more rigid version of the splints from the externally attached splint bag by folding the
restraints back and removing the splints through the slit in the splint bag. The shorter, more flexible splints
can then be inserted.
The bridging segment and the abdominal reinforcement plate can also be removed from the support,
as required, by loosening the Velcro fastenings and be individually thermoplastically adapted by the
orthopaedic technician.
Removal
To remove the brace, open the tension straps and the front fastening and take the brace off.
