Usage hints
The Ortel C4 Vario must be fitted individually
to each patient by qualified experts. At least
two people are needed for the first fitting:
One to hold the head and neck of the patient
in the correct position while the other fits the
orthosis.
(1) Place the patient in a neutral position with
the head aligned to the centre.
(2) Place the neck part of the orthosis at the
centre back of the throat.
(3) Then place the front of the Ortel C4 Vario at
the centre of the back part.
(4) Hold the front of the orthosis
firmly and place the ends tightly
around the patient‘s neck. Fasten the
orthosis by alternately tightening the rip tape
bands, making sure they are the same length
on both sides. If necessary, the surplus at the
ends can be cut off with scissors. If the orthosis
has been fitted correctly, it should no longer be
possible for the chin to slip.
(5) The option of adjusting the angle of the chin
ensures optimal pressure distribution and an
improved fit to the anatomical conditions. Pull
out the buttons for angle adjustment to fine
tune the correct chin position. Adjust the chin
position and fasten in place by pushing the
buttons back in. Please ensure that the same
height adjustment is performed on both sides.
Care hints
• Before washing, take the pads out of the
orthosis.
• Soak the pads in lukewarm soapy water.
• Squeeze the water out of the pads and dry
away from any heat sources.
• All plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
