Bauerfeind SacroLoc Back Brace

Features

• Elastic mesh material with an anatomical shape for a high level of wearing comfort in terms of breathability, snugness, and position stability during movement.
• Tensioning straps dorsally redirected from the outside to the inside.
• Two pads with massage nubs are dorsally fixed to the inside of the straps and directly controlled for a targeted effect.
• Cutouts at the iliac spine (SIPS) for better wearing comfort.
• Lateral deflection loops for a high level of pressure distribution without exerting much energy.
• Thin, low-profile fastening with soft edges for enhanced wearing comfort.
• Practical, wide hand loops making it convenient and easy to put on with minimal effort.
• High level of patient compliance as the orthosis can be worn inconspicuously under clothing.

Mode of Action

• The circular compression provided by the pelvic brace and its two tensioning straps straightens the sacrum and relieves the local ligaments.
• The proprioceptive effect improves muscle tone.
• The degree of stabilization and therefore the relief can be individually adjusted using the tensioning straps.
• The two dorsal pads provide a massaging effect during movement.  This promotes circulation, helps reduce pain, and relieves tension.

Indications

• Diseases of the sacroiliac joint (SI joint syndrome, SI joint arthrosis, SI joint instability)
• Sacroiliac joint blockage (acute and prophylactic)
• Myalgia and tendinopathy in the pelvic region
• Pelvic girdle instability (e.g. symphysis rupture and loosening)
• Structural disturbances following spondylodeses in the transition from L5 to S1
• Conservative, non-surgical treatment following pelvic fractures

Note: The suitability and use of the orthosis during pregnancy is to be determined by a physician on a case-by-case basis.
