The shoulder straps are non-elastic, thin, and comfortable with extra padding for the armpit area. The construction is stable and immobile, and is made of breathable antibacterial fabric.
The Clavicle Brace from Orthoteh is not a suitable for back and posture straightening!
To put on
1. Place the Clavicle Brace Fix onto the back so the straps fall freely over
the shoulders. The textile pad with the two buckles is placed between
the shoulder blades, so that the right angle of the pad is pointing to the
neck.
2. Place the straps over your shoulder and pass them under the armpits to
adjust the softening.
3. Slip the straps consecutively through the buckles and after stretching
them, set them in place using the adjustable Velcro tape. The appropriate
tension and position should be determined by your doctor.
