Made-to-measure corsets

A corset or lumbar brace is an aid that can be used to correct, support or protect the lumbar spine. Customization can be chosen when a ready-to-wear product provides insufficient fit or support. A custom made orthopedic corset is often chosen for wear, overload, degenerative back complaints (spondylosis or scoliosis at a later age) or (old) lumbar collapse fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis.

Just like a medical corset, an orthopedic corset also provides stabilization and/or support for your back/lumbar spine. In technical terms, orthopedic corsets are also called orthoses or back orthoses. The difference between a medical corset and an orthopedic corset mainly lies in the degree of stability and the materials used.

Medical Corset: A medical corset is often ready-to-wear and made of elastic materials with flexible ribs. The advantage of this is that a medical corset gives a lot of freedom of movement, the disadvantage is that a medical corset can provide insufficient support in some cases.

Orthopedic Corset: The orthopedic corset is a custom-made corset and is made from ‘Egyptian Cotton’. This is a type of textile that is double woven so that there is no stretch on the fabric in any direction. This property makes it very suitable for making a sturdy orthopedic corset, rigid aluminum ribs or flexible ribs can be placed in the back.

Have a corset fitted

A well-fitting corset is tailor-made. That is why a corset should always be measured by one of our experienced employees. An appointment will then be made to try on a fitting corset. Some adjustments can be made to this before the corset can be completely finished. At the third appointment, the corset is ready to be delivered.
