In terms of postural correction, the brace is designed to help re-educate a patients' muscles with the therapeutic goal to return them to a functional mid-range. For patients who do not require the motion restriction of an anterior rigid TLSO, the Summit 456 TLSO is a viable solution post-surgery as well. Because the Summit 456 TLSO is comfortable to wear and easy to don and doff, it also helps improve patient compliance. This brace is available in a one-size adjustable and in the original sized versions.
Use a mild soap and water to clean the brace by hand. Rinse thoroughly and pat out any excessive moisture. Allow to air dry completely. Do not use bleach, harsh chemicals or machine wash/dry.
