The Lumbamed facet is a lumbar support orthotic device for the treatment of lumbar column problems. It operates using a combination of compressing knitted fabric, stabilizing back rods, and a pullstrap system which increases pressure. Abdominal compression and trunk musculature support relieve the strain on the lumbar column and thereby ease pain. The four crossover pull straps create a double three-point system with the dorsal points of application on the pelvis and in the upper lumbar spine area. Through individual pressure management, this three-point strap system increases the effect of reducing lordosis formation.

Features & Benefits

• Targeted relief of the facet joints through effective reduction of lordosis
• Precise regulation of intra-abdominal pressure by means of the double 3-point strap system
• Simple to apply thanks to cleverly positioned hand loops and improved elasticity of the comfort knit
• Holds the pelvis in an upright position
• Stabilizes the lumbar spine area and the lumbosacral transition
• The knitted fabric and strap positioner (particularly of the lower strap) fully enclose the pelvis and the iliosacral joint (especially for iliosacral joint complaints)
• Contains rigid material
