Description
The Flamingo Hyper Extension Brace is designed to provide firm support to the spine, particularly for conditions like undisplaced fractures, compression fractures of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae, and for post-operative spine immobilization. It functions on a three-point pressure principle to stabilize the vertebral column by exerting pressure against the sternum, pubis, and the thoracolumbar region. This brace helps to limit excessive spinal movement and flexion, which can reduce strain and promote proper alignment during recovery.
Rigid Metal Frame: Features a sturdy, rectangular metal frame that provides substantial support to stabilize the spine and prevent forward bending. Adjustable Design: The height of the brace can be adjusted to accommodate different body structures, ensuring a customized and appropriate fit for the user. Padded for Comfort: Equipped with three strategically placed pads, including a cushioned back pad, to enhance comfort during extended wear. Secure Fastening: Utilizes a hook-and-loop strap closure that goes around the abdomen to hold the brace snugly and firmly in place. Lightweight Construction: Engineered with lightweight materials to offer support without adding unnecessary weight, aiding in user comfort.
Q: Is this brace suitable for individuals with larger waist sizes?
A: The brace features a rectangular metal frame that can be adjusted to match the body's girth, along with a Velcro strap to hold it snugly, making it adaptable for various body shapes.
Q: Can I wear it under my clothing?

Q: How does it help with spinal issues?

Q: Is it recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using it?
A: Yes, this brace is intended for specific medical conditions like vertebral fractures and post-operative immobilization. It is highly advisable to use this product under the guidance of a qualified medical professional.
Q: What is the difference between the 'Long' and 'Short' sizes?
A: The 'Long' and 'Short' options refer to the length of the brace, which corresponds to the patient's height to ensure the sternal and pubic pads are positioned correctly for proper support.
