protect.CSB
Intended purpose
protect.CSB is a corset brace for posture
correction and load relief on the thoracic
spine.
Indications
All indications which require
straightening of and stress relief on the
thoracic vertebrae, such as:
• Poor posture, postural deviations or
spinal deviations
• Posture-related pain in the spine
• Muscle weakness and/or imbalance in
the back
• Hunched back with chronic back pain
Contraindications
None known at present.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction
of blood vessels or nerves. Therefore
you should consult the doctor treating
you before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this
can result in localised skin inflammation
or irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should
provide care to the adults and children,
applying the available information on
the measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line
with the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Instructions on how to put on the
brace for patients
• First, open both hook and loop
fasteners.
• Put the brace on as you would a
rucksack, by putting your arms
through the loops of the elasticated
bands.
• Then pull the upper belt band snugly,
so that you are still comfortable, and
fasten it onto the stomach area. Then
pull the lower belt band and attach it
underneath the belt band you have
just fastened, on the stomach area.
Instructions for orthopaedic
technicians
Adjusting the back support straps
The back support straps can be adjusted
to each individual patient. It is not
necessary to remove the straps from the
pocket for this adjustment.
Adjusting the belt bands
If the belts are too long, these can be
shortened by cutting the belt on the left.
The belt has been stitched with marked
intervals for this purpose.
Then check the brace's position. The
velcro system can be adjusted at the back
and thus adapted to the patient's needs.
Care instructions
Hook and loop fasteners should be
closed for washing. Soap residues,
lotions and ointments can cause skin
