Product Description
This brace incorporates the still generally used fixation, the so-called “Stella dorsi” 0, which is made in a standard manner from cotton-wool and bandages. During treatment of a fracture of the clavicle 3 – 4 weeks, this fixation has to be exchanged every week.
ORTEX 012 is based on already proven foreign products which are used en mass abroad and have fully replaced “Stella dorsi“. This clavicle fixation brace serves to a patient during the entire time of treatment. The straps are led over the clavicle, across armpit into the region over the thoracic spine and they are sufficiently elastic and soft. The inner layer coming into contact with skin is made of cotton terrycloth, which neither irritates nor has any allergic effects on the patient’s skin. The brace can be fixed on a patient very quickly by means of Velcro fastening.
This brace priorities lie in full elimination of dressing wool and bandages, an easy re-adjustment of compression is possible, shortening the time a physician has to attend the patient, easy check-up on the status of treatment when the patient is examined, cutting down on the costs needed for medical consumable material.
