A lumbar belt should be flexible and at the same time rigid enough to stabilize this part of the spine. It is also desirable that it should be made of natural materials that ensure normal air exchange and do not irritate the skin.
These requirements are met by the Lauma Medical elastic postoperative back belt. It is made of:
- cotton - 22%;
- polyamide - 23%;
- latex - 18%;
- PUE - 12%;
- PES - 24%.
There are 4 inserts in the back of the belt, which provide stability of the lumbar spine during movements and prevent further displacement of the vertebrae.
Doctors recommend wearing the elastic postoperative belt during physical activity (e.g., walking) or significant static loads (prolonged standing). In the acute period, it is used on average 2-4 hours a day, and then - as needed. However, it is important not to abuse such support for the lumbar region - it can weaken the muscles. That is why wearing the belt should be combined with physical therapy and kinesitherapy.
