The Puma Una is the world’s easiest universal orthosis. You don’t cut off or fold a long belt. You don’t need tools. And it fits a size range of 30” to 71”. Here’s how it works.
Start with the correct Puma Una Kit: MP (L0627) or SP (L0631) or SL (L0637), etc.). Example: SP
The Puma Una SP Kit consists of 4 pieces:
small SP belt assembly
large SP belt assembly
small front panel with insert
large front panel with insert
Simply match a belt assembly to a front panel and, violà, you’ve created a Puma Una brace!
It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3!
Step 1: Measure the patient. Example: 39.5”
Step 2: Create the correct combination – Combo I, II, or III from the chart below. Example: # I (small belt, small front)
Combo #
Size Range
Belt Assembly & Front
I
30” – 46”
small belt, small front
II
44” – 61”
large belt, small front
III
54” – 71”
large belt, large front
Combo I: Small Belt, Small Front – Fits 30″ – 46″ range
Combo II: Large Belt, Small Front – Fits 44″ – 61″ range
Combo III: Large Belt, Large Front – Fits 54″ – 71″ range
Step 3: Fit the Puma Una SP on the patient Example: Secure the brace on the patient and pull the straps tight.
Finally, re-order the combo you used, replace them in your Puma Una SP Kit, and repeat.
The orthotist who fits the Puma Una will be rewarded with the gratitude of trusting patients and the respect of referring physicians.
