The Ottobock Medical Lumbosacral Orthosis (LSO) is an effective back brace. It is designed for sagittal control and provides support by using rigid anterior and posterior panels that extend from the tailbone to the mid-back (T-9 vertebra). The brace is intended to reduce pressure on the discs by creating internal pressure and features a Mechanical Advantage Pulley System for easy, adjustable compression.
Description and features:
Support: Offers sagittal control, which helps limit forward and backward bending of the spine.
Construction: Includes rigid anterior and posterior panels with integrated plastic supports. The posterior panel extends from the sacrococcygeal junction (tailbone) up to the T-9 vertebra.
Compression: Features a Mechanical Advantage Pulley System that provides targeted abdominal compression with a 6-to-1 ratio, meaning a small amount of force results in greater compression. This system helps reduce the load on intervertebral discs and aids in pain management.
Adjustability: The brace is adjustable for personalized support through elastic straps and a closure system, with a universal size to fit waist measurements from 25 to 55 inches.
Comfort: Made from breathable, lightweight materials for extended daily wear.
