Torso support SCORPION

SPINAL STENOSIS

Spinal stenosis happens when the space inside the backbone is too small. This can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that run along the entire spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck. Pressure on the nerves causes the legs pain and occurring when walking. The main symptoms can include tingling and cramping of to the lower limbs, legs weakness and even problems with the bowel or bladder. A patient suffering from spinal stenosis usually adopts a forward leaning position, which temporarily reduces the pain, but eventually causes the spinal canal to become increasingly tight and the patient’s condition to worsen.

In order to effectively reduce pain and prevent the progression of spinal stenosis, the use of a professional dynamic back brace SCORPION is recommended.

Product’s description:

Dynamic back brace with CCA system SCORPION is a professional medical device which offers perfect stabilization and support of the spine.

Back brace SCORPION is made of anatomic shaped aluminum back panel, compression CCA System, shoulder straps and waist belt.

Anatomic shaped aluminum back panel covers the entire spine: from the lower back to the neck. Is is physiologically shaped and reflects the natural curves and provides professional stabilization and pressure relief. Keeping the spine in correct position, reduces pressure withing the vertebrae, reduces the risk of herniated discs and improves hydration of the discs. This effectively reduces pain.

The aluminium panel is covered with soft fabric which reduces the pressure on the bony prominences. It is made of innovative, skin friendly fabric MaxComfort.

Waist belt is assabled to the soft back panel’s element. It is equipped with dynamic comperssion CCA system. The waist belt is made of breathable, skin friendly fabric ActiveSpace™.

CCA is designed to easy to push and pull for fast adjustments and customized fit. It provides precision fit and restrictive support without any inconvenience. SCORPION back brace is innovative product, that individually reflects the anatomical shapes of the user’s spine and provides the highest degree of positioning and pressure relief. Unlike traditional fastening systems, the CCA System compression system provides professional expansion of the intervertebral spaces and reduces the wearer’s pain.

In SCORPION brace we used innovative compression system CCA. The system is characterized by firm fastening that is non-elastic, easy and secure. It is adjusted without any tools.

The front of the waist belt has been fitted with an abdominal pad, which strengthens the abdominal wall and provides an additional point of support in positioning the spine. The abdominal pad can be removed at any time and the product can be used without this additional stabilization.

The spinal brace is also equipped with specialized shoulder straps that can be fitted at any height. The shoulder straps are also circumferentially adjustable and have special foam part that reduce pressure in the armpit region and increase comfort.

The dynamic back brace with CCA compression system SCORPION is a unique product providing full circumferential adjustment and individual therapeutic compression. The brace offers perfect position of the vertebrae, relieves pressure on the spinal tissues and maintains the physiological curvature of the spine, reducing spinal inflammation. Long-term, systematic use of the SCORPION back brace reduces pain and improves the user’s gait pattern.

In order to improve the functionality of the product and maintain proper hygiene, the construction of the brace allows for complete disassembly of the aluminum spine frame.

MATERIALS

ActiveSpace™

ActiveSpace™ is a spacer, polyamide 3D lamination with high skin ventilation. It is very lightweight, consisted of 2 layers. Between them, we use polyamide braids. ActiveSpace™ is not elastic what improves stabilization. Inside the lamination, between 2 layers, the air flows freely, maintaining minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

MaxComfort™

MaxComfort™ is a new generation of multilayer material with excellent relief and functionality. The use of a product made of this material is a perfect stabilization of the limb and very high comfort of use.

From the side of the body, there is a soft, skin-friendly knitted fabric with OekoTex Standard100 certificate. The next layer is a soft polyurethane foam, which ensures the comfort of using the orthosis, fill the space between the orthosis and the limb, increases the contact surface of the orthosis to the patient's skin, which reduces local pressure on the body and has anti-bedsore properties. The next layer of the material is technical polyethylene foam, whose task is to relieve the structural elements of the orthosis from the patient's body. The last layer of this material is a technical fabric with a self-adhesive function that allows you to attach various types of circumferential bands and other details necessary for the proper functioning of the orthosis.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

CCA Compression System

Dial CCA Compression System was designed to use it in the snowboard shoes, because ordinary shoelace was too weak in extreme using. Typical shoestring sprang and snowboard shoes wasn’t casing construction what could allow using the steel fastening.

Steel wire and polyamide grommets allow to use steel fastening. Later, this system was used in other sport shoes such as: professional shoes for cycling or running.

In orthopaedic field the compression system was adapted early and it’s used in e.g. ankle, wrist or back braces. The system is characterized by firm fastening that is non-elastic, easy and secure. There is impossible to loose (only in case of damage) it what guarantees the best stabilization.

Our CCA System provides different levels of compression. It’s based on differential polyamide grommets , steel wires covered by plastic and knobs. The additional equipment is the special element that is easy to attach what allows to modify device’s shape or circumference.

The CCA System is the compression solution so you can use it only after putting the brace on the body.

STIFFENINGS

Aluminum spine frame

The spine frame is made of a special aluminum alloy and anatomically shaped to the shape of the spine. The product has an anatomical shape, holes on the spine and rotary buckles that allow for fastening with the frame of the fastening belts. The frame is covered with a durable powder coating, resistant to sweat and water, and friendly to the patient's skin.
