鷄胸矯正帶

-  提供加强前後部矯正力

-  可調整金屬部件貼合身體

-  可清洗軟墊，使用更舒適

Trulife預製胸膜支架具有低調的設計，前面板（3-1/2" x 4-1/4"）（英寸）用於後向力，後面板（6" x 4-3/4"）（英寸）用於前向力，以及四個側向墊板，圍繞胸

部輪廓。頸椎病支架面板由低密度聚乙烯製成，具有足夠的靈活性，可以輕松地在病人的胸部周圍形成一個親密和隱蔽的配合。隨著時間的推移，病人的體溫有

助於使塑料板在胸部周圍成型，以獲得更好的定製貼合。頸椎病（PC）支架面板上覆蓋有泡沫襯墊（1/4 "至3/8 "厚度），為患者提供額外的舒適性。

TruLife 矯正帶支架有一個通用的、適合大多數人的尺寸--適合39英寸胸圍以下的人。矯形板安裝在帶有生長擴展的鋁條上，可以根據需要調整矯形器的周長和適

合程度。PC支架的前部和後部通過一個由雙邊棘輪扣組成的張力系統連接。在前側板上鉚有兩個棘輪扣，在後側板上鉚有連接梯形。通過收緊雙側的棘輪，前/

後(A/P)力被引導到胸肌畸形上。棘輪有一個快速釋放桿，這使得松開或移除PC矯形器變得容易。

什麽是鷄胸（Pectus Carinatum）？

鷄胸（PC）是一種前胸壁畸形，與肋軟骨和胸骨的異常生長和發育有關，可觀察到前胸壁向外突出、傾斜或凸起，通常包括胸骨和相關肋骨。鷄胸突起可能

是不對稱的或對稱的。準確識別頸椎病畸形的類型是預測矯形器成功與否的一個關鍵步驟。

鷄胸矯形器治療

鷄胸矯形器的設計是基於沃爾夫定律，即當健康的骨骼和軟骨被施加一個恒定且不斷增加的力時，它們會適應、加強並逐漸重塑。PC矯形器有兩個相反的力，一

個直接在突出物的頂點，一個在胸椎上。隨著時間的推移，這種持續的力阻止了前軟骨的進一步生長，並逐漸將肋骨架重塑為更正常的扁平形狀。PC矯形器將會一直佩戴到骨骼成熟。 

Pectus Carinatum Orthosis 

-  Provides increased anterior/posterior directed corrective compression forces

-  Bendable metal components for adjustable fit

-  Washable foam pads increase patient comfort  

The Trulife Prefabricated Pectus Carinatum Brace features a low-profile design with an anterior panel (3-1/2" x 4-1/4") for a posterior-directed force, a posterior panel (6" x 4-3/4") for an anterior-directed force, and four lateral padded panels that contour around the chest. The Pectus Carinatum Brace panels are made from a low-density polyethylene that is flexible enough to easily conform around the patient’s chest to create an intimate and concealed fit. Over time, the patient’s body heat helps to mold the plastic panels around the chest for an even better custom fit. The Pectus Carinatum (PC) Brace panels are covered in a foam liner (1/4" to 3/8" thickness) providing additional patient comfort.

The TruLife PC Brace comes in one universal, fits most, size - fits up to a 39" chest circumference. The panels are mounted on aluminum bars with growth extensions, making it possible to adjust the circumference and fit of the orthosis as needed. The anterior and posterior sections of the PC Brace are connected by a tension system composed of bilateral ratcheting buckles. There are two ratchet buckles riveted onto the anterior lateral panels that have connecting ladder straps riveted onto the posterior lateral panels. By tightening the ratchets bilaterally, anterior/posterior (A/P) forces are directed on the pectus deformity. The ratchets have a quick-release lever, which makes it easy to loosen or remove the PC orthosis. 

What is Pectus Carinatum?

Pectus carinatum (PC) is an anterior chest wall deformity associated with abnormal growth and development of the costal rib cartilages and sternum that is observed as an outward protrusion, tilt, or convexity on the anterior chest wall and often includes the sternum and associated ribs. The PC prominence may be either asymmetrical or symmetrical. Accurately identifying the type of Pectus Carinatum deformity is a crucial step in predicting the success of orthotic outcomes. 

Orthotic Pectus Carinatum Treatment

PC orthosis design is based on Wolff ’s Law that when healthy bone and cartilage are loaded with a constant and increasing force, they will adapt, strengthen, and gradually remodel. A PC orthosis has two opposing forces, one directly over the apex of the prominence and one on the thoracic spine. Over time, this continuous force arrests further anterior cartilaginous growth and gradually remodels the rib cage into a more normal, flattened shape. The PC orthosis is worn until skeletal maturity is reached.
