exclusively for contact with intact skin.
The orthosis must be used in accordance with the indications.
3.2 Indications
• Stable traumatic vertebral body fractures of the lower thoracic spine and
upper lumbar spine (also due to osteoporosis) without neurological dam­
age (Th10 to L2).
Indications must be determined by the physician.

3.3.2 Relative Contraindications
The following conditions require consultation with a physician: skin dis­
eases/injuries, inflammation, raised scars with swelling, reddening, and
warming in the area where the support is fitted, tumours, lymphatic conges­
tion – including unclear soft tissue swelling distal to the support, and dys­
aesthesia in the trunk.
3.4 Effects
The orthosis straightens the spinal column in the sagittal plane and stabilises
it. Based on the three-point principle with the back support (7), sternal, and
symphysis supports (1, 6), the orthosis causes a lordosis, thereby relieving
the anterior vertebral bodies.
