Description
Who Uses This Product? Patients who are recovering from an injury or surgery that necessitates immobilization of the cervical and upper thoracic spine.
Why They Love It? This brace integrates Aspens innovative cervical collar with an upper thoracic support vest, providing control in three planes of motion. The technology removes pressure as well as heat and moisture to prevent skin breakdown.
Aspen CTO Spinal Brace Overview
The Aspen CTO Brace restricts motion of the cervical and upper thoracic spine to allow healing to occur. It incorporates Aspen's original cervical collar with a vest system, creating an orthopedic device that controls three planes of motion. Aspen's proprietary FlexTab technology effectively disperses pressure to counter the stress on the skin. The orthopedic brace is designed with holes and open-cell foam to maintain airflow and wick away moisture for optimal skin protection from pressure sores and skin breakdown.
Vitality Medical offers Replacement Pads to maintain the Aspen CTO throughout the healing process.
