Vissco Ash Brace (Hyper - Extension Brace)

VISSCO ASH Brace (Hyper-Extension Brace)

The VISSCO ASH Brace (Hyper-Extension Brace) is designed to provide controlled support and stabilization of the thoracic and lumbar spine while maintaining the spine in a hyperextension position. It works on the three-point pressure principle, applying controlled pressure at the sternum and pelvic region from the front and at the lumbar region from the back. This helps maintain proper spinal positioning and provides support during recovery.

The brace is suitable for conditions requiring correction or stabilization of excessive spinal curvature and for conservative or post-operative management of certain thoracic and lumbar spine conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

Three-Point Pressure Principle:
The brace is designed around a three-point support system. Pressure is applied against the sternum and pelvic region anteriorly and the lumbar region posteriorly, helping maintain the spine in a controlled hyperextension position.

Supports Thoracic & Lumbar Spine:
It helps maintain the position of both the thoracic and lumbar spine in hyperextension, making it suitable for specific conditions where controlled spinal positioning is required.

Kyphosis Correction:
Designed to assist in the correction and management of kyphotic posture, including hyperkyphosis associated with Scheuermann’s disease, when prescribed as part of appropriate clinical care.

Lightweight Aluminum Structure:
The brace incorporates a lightweight aluminum bar that provides structural support without unnecessarily adding bulk or weight.

Adjustable Fit:
The aluminum bar can be adjusted vertically and horizontally, allowing the brace to be positioned appropriately for a more secure and firm fit according to the user's body structure and support requirements.

Controlled Spinal Stabilization:
The brace helps stabilize the thoracic and lumbar regions and can be used as part of conservative management for certain vertebral compression fractures and spinal injuries.

Indications

The VISSCO ASH Brace may be used for:

• Correction and management of kyphosis
• Stabilization of compression fractures in the thoracic and lumbar vertebral regions
• Hyperkyphosis associated with Scheuermann’s disease
• Conservative therapy for fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine
• Post-operative spinal care, as advised by a healthcare professional

How to Use

3. Position and secure the lateral and pelvic pads according to the fitting instructions provided with the product.
4. Adjust the aluminum support bar vertically and horizontally to achieve the appropriate positioning.

Proper positioning of the sternal, pelvic, lateral, and posterior pads is important for effective support and comfortable use.

The VISSCO ASH Brace (Hyper-Extension Brace) combines a three-point pressure design, lightweight adjustable aluminum structure, and controlled thoracic and lumbar support to help maintain spinal alignment and provide stabilization during appropriate spinal rehabilitation and recovery.
