Lumbar Spine
The corset system designed for the stabilization of the entire lumbar spine. From conservative fracture treatment and post-operative use through to complete rehabilitation.
 Characteristics
• The metal rails are easy to mold.
• Extremely good compliance is achieved thanks to the ideal width and the comfortable padding of the pads.
• The clip fastener makes putting the brace on and taking it off simple.
• Compression padding for the waist.
Indications
• conservatively treated vertebral fractures
• spondylodesis; stiffening of existing vertebral segments
• spondylolisthesis; vertebral sliding
• following prosthetic intervertebral disk replacement
• following spinal canal stenosis surgery
• following spinal tumour surgery
• fracture prevention in osteoporosis
Mode of operation:
The MKS Extensa plus corset is based on the conventional 3-point system, in which a sternal and a symphyseal pad as well as a dorsal element apply forces to the thorax and lead to a straightening and stabilization of the spinal column. The compression applied between the iliac crest and the thorax (cherry pit effect) provides additional relief to the lumbar spine.
The MKS Extensa plus corset consists of a chest piece existing in different heights and a modular back plate. The two pieces are linked to each other by textile straps. The components of the MKS Extensa plus corset consist of aluminum rods that can be adjusted to the anatomic shape of the patient. These aluminum rods accommodate plastic pads which, together with the textile straps, provide the support. Any parts pointing towards the body are covered with padding.
