Lumbo Sacral Belt
- This brace is designed to prevent excessive bending and it is often prescribed to treat frontal compression fractures that have occurred around the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The brace can also be used for post surgery healing from a spinal fusion.
- These braces offer support that allows anterior (front) pressure unloading of the thoracic vertebrae by restricting flexion(bending) of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
- Hyperextension braces have a front rectangular mental frame that puts pressure over the upper sternum and the pubis/pubic bone. This encourages spinal extension. There is opposing pressure applied over the T-10 level(the tenth vertebra in your thoracic spine). The braces offer what is called “three-point stabilization” to the spine through a front abdominal pad, a chest pad, and a rear pad at the level of the fracture.
- By applying pressure in three-points – sternal, pubis and rear Lumbosacral – the spine is extended/stretched. The sternum is the narrow, flat bone in the front middle of thorax. The thorax is the portion of body between the base of the neck and the lower diaphragm.
Presentation: One size fits to all.
All abdominal supports are made from special stretch fabric and covers fully the area of incision. It firmly holds dressings in proper position. Special stays prevents the belt from rolling up or chafe. Ventilated elastic made of cotton and other yarns and imported heat resistant rubber, is an assurance to comfort and durability. Allows patient to cough and expel phlegm without any pain, relieving post-operative patient from dangerous congested lungs which could result in pneumonia, pleurisy or other damaging complications

| Size | Measurement for waist |
|---|---|
| Small | 26.0 inch to 32.0 inch |
| Medium | 34.0 inch to 36.0 inch |
| Large | 38.0 inch to 40.0 inch |
| XL-Large | 42.0 inch to 50.0 inch |
The above body measurements are on average basis.
When abdomen muscles permit the abdomen to sag for any reason, it means that internal organs have slipped. These organs push down and forward against the abdomen walls, getting out of their normal position and causing restrictions in the intestinal tubes. These restrictions can result in indigestion, fatigue, constipation and abdominal cramps. The VISTACARE 20cm abdominal belt lifts and carries the extended abdomen and provides the proper support without squeezing and cramping. The support is applied in an upward and inward direction and not like a corset type tubular blinding. The abdominal belt is 20cm in width and is ideally suited for vertical and horizontal incision of lower. Middle and upper abdomen.
The belt is recommended in the cases of pregnancy, post operative support and in other cases of abdominal surgery. The belt is made from elastic that offers good compression and support especially in case of hernia. It is also good for tummy trimming.
