The Spinomed Back Support is designed to be put on as easily as a backpack or jacket. It has a shoulder strap system that reduces stress on the wearer and helps ensure therapy compliance. The waist straps are flexible and move with the wearer for optimal comfort. An innovative pivot joint at the lower back keeps the brace in place during use. The material is breathable and lightweight, making it easier and more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
Choosing the Correct Size
The Medi Spinomed IV and Spinomed IV AP Brace are professionally fitted and adjusted by medical professionals. The manufacturer recommends that patients wear light clothing between the brace and the skin.
To find the correct spine length, measure from the sacroiliac junction to the C7 vertebrae following the spinal curve. Be sure the patient is standing in their most upright position. Match the measurement to the available sizes.
The brace is cold-formable and easy to adjust as therapy progresses. More permanent changes require the use of a heating gun.
