THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. Heat the brace in an oven or hot water pan, between 67 °C and 85 °C (152°F and 185°F), until it becomes soft and elastic.
    • Dry heat method – Put the brace in either the Turtlebrace heating bag, a regular or convection oven, for 5 to 10 minutes.
    • Hot water method – Place the brace in a hot water heating pan for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Once the brace has become soft and elastic, you can drape the brace on the body. Make sure that the temperature of the brace is not too hot for comfort or at risk of burning your client.
  3. Place your client in the desired position and wait for the brace to harden.
