Frequently asked questions
Does this brace offer targeted spinal stabilization?
Yes, the Horizon 456 TLSO is specifically engineered for complex spinal conditions, including burst and compression fractures. It creates a stable, supportive environment designed to restrict motion in the thoracolumbar and lumbar regions to facilitate effective healing.
Can I adjust the compression to my specific needs?
Absolutely. The brace features the patented 4:1 SlickTrack tightening system. This allows you to independently adjust the top and bottom tension, providing precise, localized compression exactly where you need it most to stabilize muscles and manage spasms.
Is the brace easy to adjust for my body type?
The brace is designed with a tool-free pull-through sizing mechanism, making it highly user-friendly. It offers 13 inches of height adjustment via telescoping shoulder straps and fits a wide range of waist circumferences from 24 to 50 inches.
Can I use this brace as I recover?
Yes, the Horizon 456 TLSO features a modular architecture that allows it to be transitioned down to the Horizon PRO configuration. This step-down versatility provides a lower-profile option for ongoing care as your rehabilitation needs progress.
Are the shoulder straps comfortable for daily wear?
The brace utilizes MemoryFlex open-configuration shoulder straps. These are designed to prioritize patient comfort during donning and doffing while ensuring the necessary level of flexion and rotational control is maintained throughout the day.
How do I ensure I have the correct fit?
The brace includes embroidered size indicators that help you quickly and accurately adjust the fit. Because it uses a tool-free pull-through sizing system, achieving the correct fit for your torso height and waist circumference is simple and straightforward.
Is the construction durable enough for long-term use?
The orthosis is built for high-performance clinical support using a blend of robust materials, including: <ul><li>HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)</li><li>Nylon and Polyester</li><li>Polyurethane and PVC</li><li>UHMWPE (Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene)</li></ul> These materials are selected to balance structural integrity with necessary flexibility.
Is this brace suitable for both lumbar and thoracic support?
Yes, the Horizon 456 TLSO is explicitly designed to support the lumbar, sacral, and thoracic spine. It is an ideal solution for patients who require comprehensive stabilization across these specific spinal regions.
Does the buckle system ensure a secure fit?
The brace utilizes a combination of buckle closures and hook-and-loop fasteners. This dual-fastening approach ensures that once you have achieved your preferred level of compression with the SlickTrack system, the brace remains securely in place.
Is this orthosis appropriate for post-operative recovery?
The Horizon 456 TLSO is frequently used for post-operative recovery as well as for chronic spinal management. Its design focuses on creating a dynamic, supportive environment that limits unnecessary movement to promote recovery.
