Pectus Carinatum Orthosis
Overview
Our custom Pectus Carinatum brace features a low profile design with both anterior and posterior panels with a flexible surround that easily contours around the patient’s chest. These panels are designed to direct both an anterior and posterior force needed for compressive correction.
The Pectus Carinatum panels are made of a hard plastic outside and lined with a softer foam that provides comfort and easily conforms against the chest. The surround has an adjustable plastic ratchet system on both sides for easy fit and adjustability.
