Pectus
Carinatum Orthosis
- Provides increased anterior/posterior directed corrective compression forces
- Bendable metal components for adjustable fit
- Washable foam pads increase patient comfort
The Trulife Prefabricated Pectus Carinatum
Brace features a low-profile design with an anterior
panel (3-1/2" x 4-1/4") for a posterior-directed force, a posterior
panel (6" x 4-3/4") for an anterior-directed force, and four lateral
padded panels that contour around the chest. The Pectus Carinatum Brace panels
are made from a low-density polyethylene that is flexible enough to easily
conform around the patient’s chest to create an intimate and concealed fit.
Over time, the patient’s body heat helps to mold the plastic panels around the
chest for an even better custom fit. The Pectus Carinatum (PC) Brace panels are
covered in a foam liner (1/4" to 3/8" thickness) providing additional
patient comfort.
The TruLife PC Brace comes in one universal,
fits most, size - fits up to a 39" chest circumference. The panels are
mounted on aluminum bars with growth extensions, making it possible to adjust
the circumference and fit of the orthosis as needed. The anterior and posterior
sections of the PC Brace are connected by a tension system composed of
bilateral ratcheting buckles. There are two ratchet buckles riveted onto the
anterior lateral panels that have connecting ladder straps riveted onto the
posterior lateral panels. By tightening the ratchets bilaterally,
anterior/posterior (A/P) forces are directed on the pectus deformity. The
ratchets have a quick-release lever, which makes it easy to loosen or remove
the PC orthosis.
What
is Pectus Carinatum?
Pectus carinatum (PC) is an anterior chest wall
deformity associated with abnormal growth and development of the costal rib
cartilages and sternum that is observed as an outward protrusion, tilt, or
convexity on the anterior chest wall and often includes the sternum and
associated ribs. The PC prominence may be either asymmetrical or symmetrical.
Accurately identifying the type of Pectus Carinatum deformity is a crucial step
in predicting the success of orthotic outcomes.
Orthotic
Pectus Carinatum Treatment
PC orthosis design is based on Wolff ’s Law
that when healthy bone and cartilage are loaded with a constant and increasing
force, they will adapt, strengthen, and gradually remodel. A PC orthosis has
two opposing forces, one directly over the apex of the prominence and one on
the thoracic spine. Over time, this continuous force arrests further anterior
cartilaginous growth and gradually remodels the rib cage into a more normal,
flattened shape. The PC orthosis is worn until skeletal maturity is reached.
