PWA-804 Functional Corrective Hyper-extension Brace
Enhanced Description
The ORTO PWA-804 functional corrective hyper-extension brace provides superior spinal support and pain relief for a range of conditions. This innovative brace features a robust, adjustable frame with three key points of fixation, ensuring a customized and comfortable fit. The three pelottes (thoracic, pelvic, and dorsal) work in concert to provide targeted support and correction.
The thoracic pelotte utilizes a hinge mechanism allowing for controlled, natural movement, while the pelvic pelotte is integrated into the movable lower panel, minimizing pressure on the hips and pelvis, even when seated. The dorsal pelotte, secured with a reliable ratchet closure, further enhances stability and adjustability. The frame incorporates soft padding for all-day comfort.
Key Features
- Maximum Spinal Extension: Fixes the spine in a position of maximal extension, promoting healing and reducing pain.
- Load Redistribution: Reduces strain on the thoracic and lumbar spine by transferring weight to the vertebral processes.
- Kyphosis Correction: Minimizes the severity of pathological kyphosis.
- Customizable Fit: Precise adjustability ensures a snug, comfortable fit for a wide range of body types.
- Hip and Pelvis Pressure Relief: The movable lower panel prevents pressure points on the hips and pelvis while seated.
- Secure Fixation: A reliable ratchet closure provides secure spinal immobilization.

- Vertebral Compression Fractures: Single, stable compression fractures of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine (T10-L2) without neurological complications (paresis, paralysis, or pelvic organ dysfunction).
- Juvenile Osteochondrosis: Including Scheuermann’s kyphosis.
- Pathological Vertebral Fractures: Fractures in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine (T10-L2) resulting from osteoporosis or oncological conditions.
- Thoracic Disc Rupture: Traumatic rupture of an intervertebral disc in the thoracic spine.
