Bauerfeind SofTec Dorso Back Brace

$2,070.00

Increased stabilization of the thoracic and lumbar spine

The SofTec® Dorso multi-purpose orthosis is used after spinal fusion (spondylodesis), and also after operations on tumors, and to keep fractures immobile. It straightens the spine and stabilizes the transition point between the lumbar and thoracic spinal columns. It is almost as easy to put on as a jacket and is easily adjustable in several places. Like every Bauerfeind product, it is made in Germany.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if you need your spine actively straightened rather than just supported — for osteoporosis, a spinal fracture, a rounded upper back, or scoliosis.

For everyday muscular back pain: Bauerfeind LumboTrain Back Brace is a lighter brace for strain and fatigue.

Straightens the spine and stabilizes the upper body using an adjustable aluminum reclinator
Protects against damaging, incorrect movements
Pressure distribution and straightening can be regulated using tensioning straps
A stabilizing cross made of aluminum that can be fixed to the reclinator increases the straightening effect of the orthosis and provides additional restriction in the end range of motion (extension / flexion; bending to the side)

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are commonly 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.

Take the carbon-fibre (CFRP) frame out before washing.
Hand wash the orthosis separately at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent.
Always close the hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners first so they keep working and are not damaged.
Never expose the orthosis to direct heat — no radiator, no direct sunlight.
Clean the carbon-fibre frame itself with a sponge and a pH-neutral soap or shampoo.
