We provide both custom-made and ready-made options, ensuring that every patient receives the appropriate level of care and support.
Types of TLSO / Boston Brace
- Custom-Made TLSO / Boston Brace
A custom-made Boston Brace is tailored specifically to the individual’s body, ensuring a precise fit for maximum comfort and effectiveness. This type of brace is created by taking detailed measurements and casting of the patient’s torso, then using those details to design and construct a brace that is perfectly suited to their needs. This option is ideal for those with unique spinal curvature, post-operative support needs, or specific anatomical requirements. - Ready-Made TLSO / Boston Brace
The ready-made Boston Brace offers a quicker solution for patients who require thoracic, lumbar, or sacral support but may not need a custom-fitted device. These braces come in standard sizes but can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. They provide effective support for mild to moderate conditions and are a great option for patients seeking a cost-effective and timely solution.
