LombaSkin lumbar belt by Thuasne® is designed to provide relief from low back pain by supporting the spine and increasing intra-abdominal pressure, which reduces the load on the intervertebral discs. This innovative belt features a "M-shaped" back panel with four conformable dorsal metallic stays, designed to provide support and stability.
LombaSkin allows an adaptability1 to the patient's body shape. The 1/3 - 2/3 design concept allows partial mobility of the lower external stays, enabling the belt to conform to the body during movement. This adaptability helps to provide support and comfort, making it suitable for extended wear. LombaSkin is designed with a low profile, featuring thin, seamless, and edgeless finishes that make it suitable for wearing directly on bare skin. The belt is crafted from Thuasne's Combitex® fabric, which is both breathable2 and soft3, allowing moisture evacuation and quick drying.
The anatomical design of the LombaSkin avoids pressure on the hips and ribs, helping to provide comfort4. Additionally, the asymmetrically-shaped abdominal panels with tightening indicators allow for a wide range of adjustments to meet individual patient needs. Symmetrical hand loops helping the positioning of the belt to be intuitive and easy to use1 LombaSkin is available in two heights, 21 cm and 26 cm, to accommodate different body types and preferences. It is also machine washable at 30°C, making it easy to maintain.

Back pain in winter, a fatal season for back pain?
Who has never heard that damp weather is bad for rheumatism? Or their grandmother predicting bad weather by a sudden worsening of her back pain? The popular belief that the weather influences musculoskeletal disorders is widespread.
However, contrary to popular belief, back pain is not exacerbated by bad weather and may not even be related to the weather at all.
