HumerusComfort is a stable and comfortable humeral fracture brace. Designed and developed according to the biomechanical requirements that the Sarmiento principle meets. The unique, over-the-shoulder textile design prohibits the brace from sliding down and makes the brace comfortable to wear. HumerusComfort has wide circular straps which, together with the integrated plastic tiles, provide an even, circumferential compression of the soft tissue around humerus. HumerusComfort provides pain relief and allows the shoulder and elbow to move, which reduces the risk for stiffness and muscle atrophy. The brace is easy to fit and adjust. The integrated plastic tiles can easily be removed and adjusted. Skin friendly and breathable textile parts. Fits both left and right and also available in short and long models. The product is radiolucent.
Indications: Non surgical treatment of closed proximal shaft fractures on humerus. Post surgical treatment of open proximal shaft fractures on humerus. After internal/external fixation. Contraindications: massive soft tissue damage, poor compliance, unacceptable fracture position.
Material: Ventilating textile distance material which feels cool against the skin and allows the skin to breathe. Polyester 59%, Polyamide 38%, Cotton 2%, Elastomer 1%.*Polyester 55%, Polyamide 43%, Elastane 1%, Elastomer 1%.*HumerusComfort Kid
