ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE TRB-510: Pectus Carinatum Brace for Children and Adults
Optimized Product Description
The ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE TRB-510 is a highly effective brace designed to correct pectus carinatum, also known as pigeon chest deformity, using physiological orthoadaptive compression. Ideal for children and adolescents with moderate to severe chest wall deformities, this brace works best while bones are still pliable enough to reshape. While it may be less effective in adults with completed skeletal growth, it can still provide support and help maintain correction.
Suitable for children and adults aged 10 and older (chest circumference 75-115 cm). See the size chart for detailed measurements.

Application Guidelines
Successful treatment requires commitment and consistent use. Non-compliance significantly reduces effectiveness. The brace is used in two phases:
- Corrective Phase: This phase focuses on actively correcting the deformity. Wear the brace nightly (8pm-8am) and for up to 8 additional hours during the day. The more hours worn, the faster the correction. Daily light massage of the chest area and excellent hygiene are crucial to prevent skin irritation.
- Maintenance Phase: Once the desired correction is achieved, transition to the maintenance phase to prevent relapse. This involves wearing the brace for at least three nights per week, initially starting with nightly use. This phase continues until skeletal growth is complete, after which the chest’s shape will remain relatively stable (influenced by lifestyle, diet, and exercise). A minimum of one year in this phase is recommended.
Important Considerations
- Consult a thoracic surgeon or orthopedic specialist before using the ORTOBRACE CARINATUM FERRE TRB-510.
- Consistent use is essential for optimal results.
- Proper hygiene and light massage are recommended to prevent skin irritation.
