Rugbrace Jewett SternoTech

No size 1 in short version.

​

Hyperextension brace featuring 3 support points: suprapubic, dorsolumbar and sternal; a structure of lightweight alloy aluminium of the type used in the aeronautical industry; a more aesthetic updated design; and an innovative three-dimensional pectoral support system with 3-axis movement thanks to pectoral hinges that ensure a snug fit to the chest and achieve a full elastic range. This new, more comfortable support significantly improves the fit of the brace to the patient’s body, minimising painful impacts that may influence the use of the orthosis for the prescribed treatment. The articulating pelvic support provides the patient with greater comfort while seated and can be fixed at a specific angle. Its closure system is very secure, fast and easy to use. All of the upper padding is made from foam fabric, thermoformed for greater comfort, and can be easily removed thanks to its Velcro fastening system.
