The URIEL “Ortho-Flex” Surgical Sternum and Rib Belt helps stabilize fractures of the rib and surgical sternotomy bu using compression to limit expansion. Compresstion is temporarily increased during deep breathing physiotherapy and coughing by pulling on the unique dynamic compression handle and affixing the Velcro tounge. The Special feature facilitates breathing hysiotheraphy and reduces pain. Indications: Pain reliever Self Dynamic operation Anatomically shaped Lightwight Washable Made of ventilated fabric that prevents heat build up It features a full width velcro closure, adjustable for girth closure with shoulder strap, to prevent slipping The treatment of rib fracture, chest contusion, and post-sternotomy pain has hitherto been the use of static chest compression belts, corsets, or bandages. However the compression of the chest wall has the inherent danger of limiting base of lung ventilation with the danger of causing atelectasis and infection. Therefore these static compression devices can only be used with caution and their permitted tightness is limited indeed. Hence they are often ineffective.
