Aspen Popple 631 LSO Maternity Back Brace

$440.00

The Aspen® Popple™ 631 LSO is a lumbar-sacral brace made for pregnancy and the months after it. A lifting action under the abdomen takes weight off the front of the body while compression across the back supports the lumbar spine, which is the combination the usual pregnancy complaints call for: low back pain, sciatica and pelvic girdle pain.

Aspen also lists it for support of diastasis recti, for pelvic tilt correction and for postural alignment, and states that it does not inhibit pelvic floor activation. It was developed with obstetricians and spine physicians.

Three sizes are set by waist measurement, and the compression straps can be shortened or lengthened as the body changes through and after pregnancy.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Aspen prints these steps; ask your clinician before starting to wear a brace in pregnancy.

Set the size first: peel up the inside end of each side panel, adjust until the belt closes properly, and press it back down.
Place the pull tabs about 2 inches (5 cm) from the back panel, then pull the ends apart so the belt is fully extended.
Put the brace on with the back panel centred and low on the back, then bring it around to support the abdomen with the right side overlapping the left.
Slip your thumbs through the holes in the pull tabs, pull away from your body to the support you want, and press the tabs back down onto the brace.
Loosen or tighten the tabs through the day as the support you need changes.
To take it off, park the pull tabs at the side, peel the right side off the left, and fully extend the arms of the brace ready for next time.
The compression straps can be made longer or shorter: peel up the hook end, adjust the length, and press it back down.
