CALIFORNIA™ CHAIRBACK ORTHOSIS

Orthomerica introduces the latest addition to our California™ Soft Spinal Family - The California Chairback Orthosis. The Chairback is designed for comfort and stability using our patented compound closure system. This spinal orthosis is available in 7 sizes, for both men and women, and with the standard Anterior Overlap design or Anterior Panel option.

The California Chairback has a posterior opening which eases pressure over the incision site, provides ventilation, and allows wound inspection without removing the orthosis. Internal plastic panels provide anterior rigidity and help block forward flexion, while the chairback portion discourages lateral flexion and excessive extension. As the patient progresses and requires less support, the plastic chairback component and internal panels can be removed to provide greater flexibility.
