Applying VACOpedes
Pull the green valve ring outwards (see valve functions below). Place your foot into the fabric inner boot. Close the fabric cover. With the inner boot on, step into the lower shell. Place the upper shell over the front of the fabric cover, fasten the straps.
Adjusting and Stabilising the Vacuum Cushion
Attach the small grey end of the pump to the circular tip of the valve. Pump repeatedly until pump no longer inflates. Close the valve cap.

Valve Functions
Making the Cushion Soft: Pull the green valve ring outwards and manoeuvre it to the sides to allow air to enter the cushion.
Making the Cushion Rigid: Press the green valve ring downwards. Attach the bulb pump to the tip of the exposed valve and pump the air out of the cushion until the pump no longer inflates.
Valve Cap: Ensure the valve cap remains closed to prevent air from infiltrating the vaccum cushion.

Changing the Cushion Cover
Open the zip at the back of the cover and remove the cushion. Make the cushion soft by following directions on „Valve Functions“. Once soft, smooth out the cushion with your hand. Pump the air out of the cushion to make it hard again before fitting it into the new cover. Ensure the valve is inserted through the buttonhole.

«VACUUM TECHNOLOGY»
VACO12 technology forms the basis of medical technology products. A cushion filled with thousands of beads surrounds an injured body part. Air is extracted from the cushion using a pump. A plastic frame provides additional stability similar to that of a plaster cast. The body part is provided with optimum protection, though the product can be put on or taken off at any time. This is an important aspect in terms of hygiene. Evidently, OPED products save time and costs for clinics and doctors.
