OT-21

Degenerative spine conditions, discopathy, and sciatica are diseases that require medical consultation. However, we can often halt their progression and relieve symptoms ourselves. If there is too little synovial fluid (due to age or lack of movement), the articular cartilage becomes thinner, developing cracks and irregularities. When it completely wears away, the bones rub against each other, causing severe pain when attempting any movement. Bone friction can also occur due to flattened discs. Sometimes, osteophytes—cartilaginous and bony growths—form on worn vertebrae, distorting the joint. By pressing on nerves, they cause pain during movement. This pain leads us to move less and adopt unnatural postures, which in turn weakens the muscles and causes strain. Poor posture, being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle, bending, and lifting heavy objects with straight legs all contribute to degenerative spine conditions.

We should remember to stay as active as possible to strengthen our muscles and bones while also relaxing. It’s important to avoid mistakes that accelerate the progression of the disease. We should relieve the spine during daily activities—our lumbosacral orthosis, model OT-21, is perfect for this purpose.

This orthosis serves a stabilizing function, reduces pain, prevents its occurrence, and improves the patient’s mobility. It has been designed with a new, more anatomical shape, allowing it to fit better to any body type and significantly improve stabilization of the thoracolumbar section of the spine.

The back of the orthosis is equipped with either four or six orthopedic stays, depending on the size, which perfectly adapt to the patient’s body.

Thanks to the use of uniquely anatomically shaped orthopedic steel stays, the orthosis stabilizes and relieves the spine in the thoracic and lumbosacral regions. It strengthens the abdominal muscle wall and, by maintaining a stable temperature and applying gentle compression, helps reduce pain. Its primary functions are to alleviate existing pain, prevent future occurrences, improve the patient’s mobility, and enhance overall quality and comfort of life. The indications and guidelines for use depend on the attending physician’s recommendations.

Purpose of use:

The orthosis can be used in the following cases:

• Acute pain syndromes in the lumbosacral region
• Degenerative spine conditions in the lumbosacral region
• Lumbar discopathy
• Post-operative recovery of the lumbar spine
• Lumbar spine deformities
• Overstrain of the lumbosacral region.
