Torso support U-LK

Universal abdominal support is made of a structural material UniPren™.

Additional equipment: abdominal pad.

Abdominal press is a common term not only for athletes. It is caused during daily activities such as sneezing or weight lifting. Holding the breath increases the pressure in abdominal cavity and protects internal organs. Many muscles are responsible for creating the abdominal pressure such as rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, internal and external abdominal oblique and diaphragm. When these muscles are tensed and “active”, your core is protected. It prevents against spinal conditions (herniated disc or spondylosis). It’s not easy to make all of abdominal muscles active but our abdominal support used together with back belt U-LK make it easier.

Our abdominal support is anatomic shaped. It is comfortable and does not limit the movement. It is made of lightweight ABS covered with loop fabric. It is easy to attach to our regular universal lower back brace U-LK.
Using our lower back brace U-LK together with abdominal support improves core stability. This product increases the pressure in abdominal cavity and protects internal organs and spine even in case of intensive physical activity. Our abdominal support and back brace U-LK protect against the muscles contusion in trunk area and improve posture.

MATERIALS

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

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>

Plastic stays

They come in various widths and thicknesses, are made of various types of plastics, such as polyamide, ABS or acrylic, and these features determine their stiffness. Thanks to their design, they are resistant to water, moisture and sweat. Products equipped with them can be washed without having to remove them from the orthosis. Our plastic stays work only in one direction, perfectly stabilize the laterally protected part of the body, adjusting to it at the same time and have a memory function, thanks to which they always return to their original shape. This function causes the stays in the orthosis to stabilize the swollen limb immediately after the injury and after the swelling has come off. The plastic stays cannot bend and that is why, they cannot correct the body posture or the secured joint.
