Short Description
Clinically designed rigid TLSO brace for spinal support, the Medi 4C Flex Hyperextension Back Brace stabilizes the lumbar and lower-thoracic spine during recovery.
The Medi 4C Flex Hyperextension Back Brace is a clinically designed torso orthosis that provides reliable stabilization for the lumbar and lower thoracic spine. Engineered with a rigid, stable frame and a cantilever closing mechanism, this brace helps restrict harmful motion-especially lateral flexion-and supports recovery from compression fractures, post-operative healing, or spinal tumors.
Key Features
-
Hyperextension Support: Encourages spinal extension in the sagittal plane for optimal stabilization.
-
Stable Framework: Aluminum and PVC construction resists lateral flexion while maintaining rotational control.
-
Adjustable Fit: Side-bar length and chest bar width can be customized to each patient's torso shape.
-
Moveable Hip Bar: Improves comfort during sitting and everyday activities.
-
Button / Hook Closure: Easy-to-use cantilever mechanism for secure fastening and release.
-
Multiple Sizes: Available in S, M, L, and XL; also offered in short and ultrashort torso lengths. See Size and Fit tab.
