Custom SALO TLSO

The SALO TLSO can be used across the general population. It is especially well suited to pediatric, geriatric, and wheelchair-using patients who need spinal stabilization and support. OPTEC fabricates each one to the patient's measurements and your specifications, drawing on its spinal database and physical library, one of the largest in the industry.

The brace is built in three layers. The outer shell, in LDPE, MPE, or Copolymer plastic, maintains spinal alignment. A rigid foam layer in the middle adds stability, and a soft hypoallergenic foam lining in 1/8", 3/16", or 1/4" pads the brace for the patient's comfort. You choose an anterior or bivalve opening with a smooth, stepped (butted), or tongued overlap. The anterior can follow a flexion, neutral, or pendulous design, and the lordosis is custom fabricated. The SALO TLSO is delivered finished or unfinished.
