Torso support OT-15

Ribs fracture

Your ribs protect soft, fragile organs like your heart and lungs. Unfortunately, even though the ribs are bones, it’s possible to break one or more ribs if you’re hit hard in the chest. Common reasons of injuries are car accidents, contact sports or getting punched in your rib cage. also, repetitive moments or getting CPR may result in ribs injuries.

The ribs are moveable because they’re active in breathing so they cannot be immobilized with plaster cast. Our ribs belt OT-15 is perfect for broken ribs treatment because it does not limit the breathing.

Product’s decription

Human skin is the best Mother’s Nature gift. Is has a range of properties. The skin protects our body against the microorganisms, bacteria and harmful UV-rays. Many skin’s receptors receive tactile stimuli. The skin is not afraid of frost or heat wave because it adapts to each weather conditions. Its high resistance protects internal tissues and organs. The skin is soft, flexible and resistant to stretching. It works exactly as our innovative OT-15 rib belt.

Rib belt OT-15 is inspired by nature. We wanted to create unique brace which will reflect a human’s skin properties.

The thickness of the rib belt is similar to skin. This solution provides natural, physiological cooperation between brace and body. Softness and flexibility of the fabric maintains gentle but effective compression, increases proprioception. The belt is without seams and reduces risk of skin’s abrasions.

The OT-15 belt is made of innovative ProFit fabric.

OT-15 rib belt, similar to human’s skin, maintains the optimal joint’s temperature and reduces aching muscles and pain. What’s more, the belt provides gentle compression and increases proprioception which is important in case of neurological disorders. Active application of the belt after ribs injuries reduces the pain and improves the healing. The belt is elastic but resistant to stretching at the same time. Due to this fact, the belt keeps the anatomic shape of the rib cage and provides effective compression and support for a long period of time.

Our innovative OT-15 rib belt is the best natural choice!

MATERIALS

ProFit™

ProFit™ is a double-layer fabric that is elastic in all directions and fits to limb precisely. The external side is made of spandex providing excellent compression and absorbs muscle shocks in physical activity. The internal side consists of microfibre, cotton and elastane what makes it skin-friendly, breathable and provides velvet softness. ProFit™ is friendly and neutral for the skin and has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate. In some products this material can have an internal elastic cotton layer.

STIFFENINGS

Orthopedic stays from ABS

Orthopedic stays available in various width, thickness and shapes are cut from ABS boards. Their role is not to stiffen the orthosis in order to support a joint or other part of the body, but to prevent wrinkling and uncontrolled movement of the fabrics of the orthosis./p>

Stiffeners of thin ABS

Stiffeners made of a thin ABS plate are very light and protect the correct shape of the brace, but do not stiffen individual parts of the patient's body. The brace has the correct circumferential shape, but does not have the compensating and stiffening function of the protected joints and other protected parts of the body.
