DIRECTIONS FOR MOLDABLE INSERT
1. Preheat warming tray/moldable insert for
approximately 3 minutes. Place insert on tray (foam
side up) and leave until
pliable (approximately
1-1 1/2 minutes). NOTE:
It is not necessary for
insert to be “limp”- only
soft enough to conform
to the gentle contour of the lower back. May be
used with the hydrocollator. Optimal warming
temperature (for warming tray and hydrocollator)
is approximately 160° F.
2. With patient standing
upright and feet together,
place the softened insert
against the patient’s back
(foam side in). Make sure
that the bottom of the
insert is approximately 1” below the top of the
gluteal crease and level; Press the insert firmly
against the patient’s back.
3. Bring the patient’s hands
back so that they press
the outer ends of the
insert firmly against the
body and gently against
the coccyx.
4. Massage the insert up and
down against the spine
until the insert becomes
rigid. Remove to allow
additional setting time.
5. Place insert in support,
foam side toward patient,
making sure the insert is
all the way in the pocket.
Secure pocket to
prevent the insert from
moving upward.
