Aspen Medical Products works with spine and orthotic specialists to provide patients with braces to treat many types of spinal disorders. A brace may be prescribed to be worn as part of the patient's non-surgical treatment or during post-operative recovery. Aspen offers a full line of orthotic devices used to treat disorders affecting the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

 

Aspen® Cervical Collars are designed to provide support and comfort. The structure of the collar is engineered to restrict motion without causing painful pressure points.

All surfaces of the collar that come into contact with the skin are cushioned with cotton-lined, breathable foam padding. The pads are designed to draw moisture away from the skin to keep it dry and healthy.

Aspen® Lumbosacral Bracing System™
This lumbosacral orthotic device offers patients unparalleled comfort and immobilization. The self-adjusting feature affords patients who gain or lose weight during treatment for a spinal disorder the ability to adjust the fit of the brace.
