Instructions for Use of Trulife Infant Bebax Shoes
- Use the Allen wrench provided to loosen the two swivel joints and adjust the hind foot and forefoot in relation to one another
- Note: Adjust the forefoot position so that it is opposite of the diagnosed deformity. the deformity in any direction is too severe, make corrections in several intervals allowing 5-7 days between each step
- Use the Allen wrench to carefully tighten the swivel joints to lock the orthosis in the desired position.
- Note: Do not over tighten the screws. Excessive tightening can damage the joint assembly.
- Make a slit at the toe portion of a thin cotton sock and place it on the patient’s foot. The slit should be large enough to view the patient’s toes.
- Place the patient’s foot into the orthosis so that the heel is firmly placed to the back of the Bebax.
- Verify that the orthosis is properly positioned for the desired correction and for the correct foot.
Note: Left and right models are determined by the strap orientation. Straps should always fasten towards the lateral side. - While firmly holding the foot in place, close the straps so they are snug.
• For smaller sizes (7.5 cm–10 cm); fasten the proximal ankle strap first followed by the distal toe strap.
• For larger sizes (10.5 cm–13.5 cm); fasten the middle leather strap through the slit first, followed by the proximal ankle strap and then the distal toe strap. - Check the patient’s toes for signs of excessive compression. If the toes are very blue or white, wait a few minutes to see if they
return to normal color. Adjust the strap tightness if necessary.
