Product’s description

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-16 chest belt.

Chest support OT-16 is inspired by nature. We wanted to create unique brace which will reflect a human’s skin properties.

The thickness of the chest 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.

The OT-16 chest belt is made of innovative ProFit™ fabric.

OT-16 chest belt, similar to human’s skin, maintains the optimal joint’s temperature and reduces aching chest and pain. What’s more, the belt provides gentle compression and stabilizes the postoperative wound. Active application of the belt heart and chest surgery reduces the pain and improves the breathing therapy and coughing exercises. The belt is elastic but resistant to stretching at the same time. Due to this fact, the belt keeps the anatomic shape of the chest and provides effective compression and support for a long period of time.

OT-16 chest support belt reduces the postoperative complications. It stabilizes the wound leaving the easy access to cutting place for cleaning and monitoring of the healing process. Active compression provides resistance to breathing exercises and strengthens the breathing muscles. Also, our chest belt improves a breathing therapy and coughing exercises and stabilizes the wound while upright patient position.

Our innovative OT-16 chest belt is the best natural choice!

The side part of the orthosis is equipped with spiral bonings. They take over some of the external forces, evenly distributing the compression of the brace, relieving the muscles and preventing the orthosis from curling, which improves the comfort of use. The orthosis has a front closure with a circumference adjustment function, thanks to which the product fits more precisely to each body shape. In addition, the orthosis has adjustable suspenders that position the product on the body, preventing from slipping and twisting.

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.
