Detailed description
Lombatech® lumbar belt by Thuasne® is designed to provide relief from low back pain by supporting the spine and increasing intra-abdominal pressure, thereby reducing the load on the intervertebral discs.
This belt is suitable for active individuals who frequently engage in repetitive back movements, helping to provide both support and comfort during daily activities.
One of the features of the Lombatech® is its targeted compression. It includes a removable additional strap that can be positioned on specific painful areas to provide targeted pain relief.
This customisation helps the patient to receive the support needed for their unique condition.
Lombatech® also features a "M-shaped" back panel with four conformable dorsal metallic stays. This design offers support and helps maintain spinal alignment and reduce pain, preventing further injury.
Adaptability1 to various body shapes is another benefit of Lombatech®. The 1/3 - 2/3 design concept allows partial mobility of the lower external stays, ensuring that the belt adjusts to the patient's body shape during movement.
This feature, combined with an extended sizing table that accommodates up to a 160 cm waist circumference, helps to provide comfortable fit for atypical body shapes.
The belt is constructed from Thuasne’s Combitex® fabric, which is both breathable2 and soft3. This material facilitates the evacuation of moisture and quick drying, helping the wearer remains comfortable throughout the day.
The anatomical design of the belt avoids pressure on the hips and ribs, helping to provide comfort1.
Additional features include asymmetrically-shaped abdominal panels with tightening indicators that allow for a wide range of adjustments according to the patient’s needs. Symmetrical hand loops make the positioning of the belt easier, helping to be intuitive1.
The Lombatech® is machine washable at 30°C, making it easy to maintain. It is available in two heights, 21 cm and 26 cm, to suit different body types and preferences.
