Comfort is the key because the brace is worn continuously to provide compression during regular daily activity. Each Pectus Brace is custom fitted and unobtrusive.
According to the Calgary Protocol, patients wear the Braceworks Pectus Brace, compressing the point of the most prominent sternal protrusion. Dynamic pressure stimulates bone and cartilage remodeling.
Visible gains in early adjustment boost patient confidence. Users report increased comfort with the Braceworks Pectus Brace. Increased rates of patient adoption and compliance yield consistent treatment and better results.
Pectus Cartinatum often appears symmetrically on the chest wall—a single bump on the sternum. Patients also present asymmetrically, in a variety of locations.
