Caerus Therapeutic Back Brace

  • This Lumbar Sacral Orthosis Is By Prescription Only And Should Be Fitted By A Qualified Healthcare Professional.
  • All Steps Must Be Completed To Ensure Proper Function.

Back Brace Instructions:

STEP 1: Locating & Adjusting The Lumbar Insert

Lay the vest open on a flat surface and locate the velcro strip on the inside of the back of the vest and the lumbar insert.

Locate the velcro on the back of the lumbar insert and remove the white protective film strip.

Remove and reattach the lumbar insert to the inside of the vest with the narrow side pointing upward to locate the vertical position for lumbar
support.

Align the velcro strip on the back of the lumbar insert with the velcro strip on the inside of the vest.

Press together to connect the lumbar insert to the inside of the vest.

Put on the vest and check for proper lumbar alignment.

A healthcare professional should assist in removing the vest and reattaching the velcro strips to adjust the lumbar insert in the optimal position for lumbar support.

STEP 2: Locating & Inserting The Anterior (Front) Inserts

The anterior inserts are the shortest of two pairs of inserts in the kit. Close the vest and locate the two zippered pockets on the front upper chest area. 

Load the inserts with the slightly narrower end pointing downward and zip the pockets closed. 

STEP 3: Locating & Inserting The Lateral (Side) Inserts

The lateral inserts also have a slight taper and are narrower than the anterior inserts.

Reach around to the sides of the vest or flip the vest over to locate a mesh pocket. 

Load the inserts with the slightly narrower  end pointing downward. 

STEP 4: Interior 6” Waist Strap

Put on the vest and locate the 6” wide elastic strap on the inside. The purpose of this strap is to assure a snug fit around the waist, lower
back, and provide lumbar support. 

Stretch the elastic strap to desired length and secure by connecting the velcro fasteners. 

A qualified medical professional is recommended for the first adjustment in tightening the straps.

STEP 5: ZIP-UP

Connect the zipper at the bottom of the vest and zip up to the top.

Locate the front lower straps with the side release buckles, snap together, and pull to tighten around the lower waist.

STEP 7: Remaining Front Straps

Locate the next 2 sets of straps with buckles,  snap together, and pull to tighten. Retighten
all the straps to assure an overall snug fit throughout the back brace.  

STEP 8: Side Straps - Lower

Locate the lower velcro side straps on each side. Feed the strap through the connector, tighten, and secure the velcro for a snug fit.

A qualified medical professional is recommended for the first adjustment in tightening the straps. 

STEP 9: Side Straps - Upper

Locate the upper velcro side straps on each side. Feed the strap through the connector, tighten, and secure the velcro for a snug fit. 

A qualified medical professional is recommended to perform the first adjustment in tightening the
straps. 

STEP 10: Shoulder Strap
