The Trulife Pectus Carinatum Brace features a low-profile design with an anterior panel (3-1/2" x 4-1/4") for a posterior-directed force, a posterior panel (6" x 4-3/4") for an anterior-directed force, and four lateral padded panels that contour around the chest. The Pectus Carinatum Brace panels are made from a low-density polyethylene that is flexible enough to easily conform around the patient’s chest to create an intimate and concealed fit. Over time, the patient’s body heat helps to mold the plastic panels around the chest for an even better custom fit. The Pectus Carinatum (PC) Brace panels are covered in a foam liner (1/4" to 3/8" thickness) providing additional patient comfort.
The TruLife PC Brace comes in one universal, fits most, size - fits up to a 35" chest circumference. The panels are mounted on aluminum bars with growth extensions, making it possible to adjust the circumference and fit of the orthosis as needed. The anterior and posterior sections of the PC Brace are connected by a tension system composed of bilateral ratcheting buckles. There are two ratchet buckles riveted onto the anterior lateral panels that have connecting ladder straps riveted onto the posterior lateral panels. By tightening the ratchets bilaterally, anterior/posterior (A/P) forces are directed on the pectus deformity. The ratchets have a quick-release lever, which makes it easy to loosen or remove the PC orthosis.
