The three Velcro closures with adjustable anchor point for the laces and ambidextrous design make this a versatile wrist brace. Three mouldable removable stays provide excellent support for the wrist. The contour stay inserted on the palm side and the straight stay inserted on the dorsal side determine if it is a left or right brace. The brace opens nicely, making it easy to apply, and the lace/Velcro closure system is easy to adjust and tighten.
This innovative device was invented by an orthopedic surgeon to provide superior cervical immobilization as well as ambulatory cervical traction, anytime, anywhere. The rigid plastic frame combined with the special cupped shape of the occipital and mandibular sections of the brace provide greater than 85% immobilization of the cervical spine. Simultaneous immobilization combined with cervical traction is possible with this brace. Asymmetric traction is also possible for unilateral pinched nerve.
Easy to apply by wrapping around the neck and clipping the occipital piece with the side clip, tighten with the posterior cinch dial, then adjust the height with the independent side dials, raising both anterior and posterior sections of the brace simultaneously to support the weight of the head. By adjusting the side dials up a little further, gentle traction can be applied to widen the joint space and relieve a pinched nerve. Superior immobilization is simultaneously achieved to relieve motion induced pain, and reduce inflammation and swelling.
Indications: Cervical radiculopathy, herniated disc and pinched nerve, facet joint swelling and malalignment, degenerative disc disease, disc collapse, facet osteoarthritis, joint instability, sprained neck and whiplash injuries, cervical artery syndrome causing headache and vertigo, mild cervical myelopathy
Suggested traction models for pinched nerve:
| Model (1) | Model (2) | Model (3) |
|---|---|---|
| Day and night | Day | Morning, noon, evening |
| 24 hours/day | 12 hours/day | 6 hours/day |
| 3 days | 3 days | 3 days |
Mild Case: (3) = 3 days Moderate Case: (2) + (3) = 6 days Severe Case: (1) + (2) + (3) = 9 days
This innovative new product invented by an orthopedic surgeon provides ambulatory mechanical traction anytime, anywhere, administered by the user by hand. Continuous traction is now possible day and night and is easy to use. This device combines traction and immobilization simultaneously for pain relief. It can be used as a quick diagnostic test for sciatica. Easy to apply like a normal back support–tighten with the cinch dials at the front, then turn the levers at the back. The comfortable hip and rib pads will lift the upper body to increase disc height and relieve the pinched nerve or herniated disc. Immobilization will allow healing of torn annulus fibrosus. Also helpful for preventing recurrence of chronic sciatica by spinal unloading while working.
Indications: Herniated disc, Acute Sciatica, Facet Syndrome, Spinal & Foraminal Stenosis, Spondylolisthesis
