PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Bauerfeind SofTec® Dorso is a multi-purpose spinal orthosis designed to provide enhanced stabilization of the thoracic and lumbar spine, support spinal straightening, and help reduce strain on the thoracolumbar junction. It is used in conservative fracture management, osteoporosis, post-operative stabilization, and the conservative treatment of tumors or spondylitis.

Its carbon-fiber-reinforced framework, rigid support bars, and elastic, breathable knitted fabric combine structural stability with flexibility and wearing comfort. The orthosis helps immobilize and support specific areas of the back while promoting an anatomically aligned posture. Designed for convenient application, its jacket-like construction and patented tensioning strap system allow easy fitting and adjustment with minimal effort.
