medi Lumbamed Sacro Pelvic Support

$298.00

Lumbamed® sacro is a pelvic orthosis rather than a lumbar brace: the belt goes around the pelvis, low down, and compresses the two sacroiliac joints where the base of the spine meets the pelvis.

It is for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, arthritis and instability, for muscle pain and tendon disease in the pelvic region, pelvic ring instability, structural problems after a lumbar spinal fusion, recurrent locking of the sacroiliac joint, recurring muscle and tendon disease in the rectus abdominis and piriformis, and rupture or relaxation of the pubic symphysis.

It is built in parts, so how much brace you wear can follow how much pain you have. Two massage pads reposition anywhere on the lining, so the pressure lands on the spot that actually hurts, and tension straps pulled forward set how firm the belt feels. When the elastic comfort knit alone is enough, it can be worn on its own with the additional fastener, for example overnight. medi prints that this orthosis contains semi-rigid material, and recommends wearing it straight over underwear or one thin layer so the pads can work.

Is this the right one for you?

Choose this if the pain is across your pelvis or hips — low down and off to the side, rather than in your spine.

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

Check the size chart below. If your measurements don't fit a size on it, contact us and we'll help.

Size	I	II	III	IV	V
Hip (cm)around the fullest part of the hips	70 – 85	85 – 100	100 – 115	115 – 130	130 – 145

Hand wash only, in lukewarm water (about 30°C/86°F) with a mild detergent
Close all hook-and-loop (velcro) fasteners, straps, and zippers before washing to protect the fabric
Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh chemicals; do not dry clean
Remove and clean any removable pads or cushions separately with water or mild soap
Air dry fully -- do not tumble dry, use a hair dryer, or dry in direct sunlight
Apply skin creams or lotions after removing the support in the evening, not right before putting it on, since they can affect the material's properties

medi publishes these steps for putting the orthosis on, and asks that the first fitting is supervised by a qualified healthcare professional.

Loosen the tension straps first: unfasten their ends and press them down loosely on the velour at the back of the belt.
Fix the pads on the grey hook-and-loop lining where your doctor or fitter has told you to; if you have had no other instruction, put them in the middle with the narrow end pointing down.
Slip your hand into the hand strap on the left inner fastening side, take the belt around your pelvis, then slip your other hand into the outer hand strap on the right side.
Close the belt with the bottom edge of the fastening just above the pubic bone, pulling the two sides over each other as centrally as you can.
Release the tension strap ends and pull both forward at the same time until the pressure suits you.
Check the position by lifting your thigh slightly: the bottom of the tension strap should be level with your groin.

To wear only the outer, non-elastic part with the strap system, open the hook-and-loop fastenings on both sides of the inner fastening side and take the elastic knit out; the pads can be placed on the belt instead. medi recommends wearing the orthosis directly over underwear or a very thin layer of clothing so the massage pads work properly.
