Title: ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE OF-3: Pectus Carinatum Brace for Children and Adolescents
Description:
The ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE OF-3 is a lightweight, comfortable brace designed to correct pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) in children and adolescents. This innovative orthotic utilizes physiological orthoadaptive compression to gently reshape the chest wall while bones are still pliable. Suitable for children and teens aged 2-19, it’s particularly effective for moderate to severe deformities. While results may be less pronounced in individuals with completed skeletal growth, the brace can help maintain correction and prevent further deformity.

Key Features & Benefits:
- Lightweight Design: Weighs only 150-220 grams depending on size, ensuring comfort and ease of wear.
- High-Tech Materials: Constructed from advanced, hygienic, and easily cleaned materials.
- Discreet Wear: Designed to be easily hidden under clothing.
- Water-Resistant: Suitable for use in the shower or pool.
- Adjustable Straps: Features a ratchet system for precise compression and easy on/off functionality with a safety release.
Usage Recommendations:
The ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE OF-3 requires commitment to achieve optimal results. Treatment is divided into two phases:
- Corrective Phase: This phase involves wearing the brace nightly (8 PM – 8 AM) and for up to 8 additional hours during the day. Increased wear time accelerates correction.
- Maintenance Phase: Following the corrective phase (and after consultation with your physician), a maintenance phase is implemented to prevent relapse. This involves wearing the brace for at least three nights per week, initially continuing nightly wear before gradually reducing frequency. This phase continues until skeletal growth is complete. Minimum duration: 1 year.
Important Considerations:
- Skin care: Daily gentle massage and diligent hygiene are crucial during the corrective phase to prevent irritation.
- Professional Guidance: Always consult a thoracic surgeon or orthopedist before using this brace. They will determine suitability and provide personalized guidance on usage.
