Foam dressing with polyurethane top layer permeable to water vapour; the strong capillary effect of the special hydrophilic pore structure enables a rapid transport of wound exudate and ensures a balanced moist wound environment; germs and cell debris are safely bound, even under compression; soft and smooth with good padding properties.

PermaFoam has around the edges a hypoallergenic adhesive film for a fixation which is safe and impermeable to germs.

The XBACK LS is a unique one piece LSO brace that immobilizes the wearer from the sacrococcygeal junction to above the L1 vertebra. The brace is easy for individuals to put on, adjust and weighs less than 20 ounces. This comfortable light weight brace encourages compliance with treatment protocols.

The LS has a single layer of soft moisture-wicking material and anatomically designed posterior support panel with cutout to make the brace thinner, lighter, cooler and less bulky. As the patient pulls on the adjustable closure system, the unique anatomically shaped XBACK posterior panel will mold to the patient’s back regardless of their lordosis.

The LS provides intracavitary pressure to reduce load on the interverterbral discs. The unique strapping system also provides hydrostatic lift to help hold the weight of the abdomen thus reducing lower back pain. The end result is greater patient compliance.
