The orthotics market has evolved considerably in recent times, incorporating a wide range of products, materials and innovative techniques to provide the best functionality, comfort and safety for users.

During this evolution, Orliman, which prides itself on always being at the forefront of research, has sought to develop orthotic solutions that offer greater functionality and feature a high degree of cutting-edge design and technology, taking advantage of its proven track record of excellence and ability to anticipate market needs. One such example is Orliman’s new Sternotech® orthosis – a new concept in Jewett hyperextension braces.

A common problem with these kinds of orthosis is that they are often rendered ineffective as the prescribed treatment because, among other things, they are uncomfortable to wear, difficult to fit and excessively heavy.

Most Jewett braces feature a pectoral support with a single-axis hinged joint,

resulting in certain limitations of comfort and fit.

A Jewett brace is a rigid limited-contact orthosis that acts on the body by means of a 3-point

pressure system.

How a Jewett brace works

The new Sternotech® brace incorporates three-

dimensional adjustment technology in the pectoral

area, making it unique in the market.

Its revolutionary three-dimensional system provides movement on three axes thanks to pectoral hinges that ensure a snug fit to the chest and achieve a full elastic range.

This new, more comfortable system significantly improves the fit of the brace on the chest, without losing its functionality, and helps the patient tolerate the prescribed treatment much better.

Three-Dimensional Adjustment Technology

Jewett hyperextension brace with three-dimensional sternal adjustment

| Characteristics

Hyperextension brace featuring 3 support points: suprapubic, dorsolumbar and sternal; a structure of lightweight alloy aluminium of the type used in the aeronautical industry; a more aesthetic updated design; and an innovative three-dimensional pectoral support system with 3-axis movement thanks to pectoral hinges that ensure a snug fit to the chest and achieve a full elastic range. This new, more comfortable support significantly improves the fit of the brace to the patient’s body, minimising painful impacts that may influence the use of the orthosis for the prescribed treatment.

The articulating pelvic support provides the patient with greater comfort while seated and can be fixed at a specific angle. Its closure system is very secure, fast and easy to use. All of the upper padding is made from foam fabric, thermoformed for greater comfort, and can be easily removed thanks to its Velcro fastening system.
