Bauerfeind LumboLoc

Measurement Instructions for Lumboloc Back Brace:-

• Locate the Measurement Area: The Lumboloc back brace size is determined by the circumference around the waist. To measure this accurately, find the point on your body that aligns with your natural waistline. This is typically at the level of your belly button (navel).
• Prepare for Measurement: Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Relax your muscles and breathe normally. Ensure that you are not pulling your stomach in or pushing it out.
• Measure the Waist Circumference: Using a flexible measuring tape, wrap it around your waist at the level of your belly button. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight, and that it is level all the way around (parallel to the floor). Do not measure over thick clothing; a thin layer of clothing or directly on the skin is best for an accurate measurement.
• Read and Record the Measurement: Look at the number on the measuring tape where it meets itself. Record the measurement in either inches or centimeters, depending on the sizing chart provided.
• Compare with Sizing Chart: Match your waist measurement with the sizing chart below to determine the appropriate size.

• Double-Check Your Measurement: For accuracy, consider taking the measurement twice and using the average of the two. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for comfort.

Sizing Note:

If you are unsure about your size or have questions about how the brace should fit, consider consulting with a customer service representative for further guidance.

• 1. Anatomically Contoured Design:
     • The brace is designed to fit the natural curvature of the spine, providing a comfortable and snug fit that supports the lumbar region without restricting movement.
  2. Lightweight, Breathable Material:
     • Made from high-quality, breathable, and skin-friendly materials, the Lumboloc back brace ensures maximum comfort during prolonged use. The fabric promotes airflow, reducing heat build-up and moisture, which prevents skin irritation.
  3. Adjustable Compression Straps:
     • The brace features adjustable, elastic tension straps that allow users to customize the level of compression and support according to their comfort and medical needs. This adjustability helps provide optimal stabilization of the lumbar spine.
  4. Integrated Stays for Stability:
     • The Lumboloc brace comes with integrated, anatomically shaped stays (or splints) that help maintain a neutral spine alignment and prevent excessive movement. These stays provide targeted stabilization without restricting natural mobility.
  5. Easy Closure System:
     • Equipped with a simple, secure, and easy-to-use hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure system, the brace can be easily put on and adjusted by the user, ensuring a proper fit each time.
  6. Encourages Correct Posture:
     • The Lumboloc back brace promotes good posture by gently guiding the spine into its natural alignment, which helps reduce muscle strain and prevent further injury.
  7. Discreet Under Clothing:
     • With its slim, low-profile design, the brace can be worn discreetly under clothing, making it suitable for everyday use, whether at home, at work, or during physical activities.
  8. Available in Multiple Sizes:
     • The Lumboloc back brace is available in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of body types, ensuring that each user can find a comfortable and effective fit.
  9. Promotes Mobility and Comfort:
     • While providing firm support, the brace also allows for a good range of motion, helping users stay active and continue with their daily activities without significant restriction.
  10. Helps Relieve Back Pain:
      • By providing targeted compression and stabilization, the brace helps relieve lower back pain associated with conditions such as muscle strain, lumbar instability, degenerative disc disease, and more.
  11. Durable Construction:
      • Made with high-quality, durable materials, the Lumboloc back brace is designed to withstand regular use without losing its effectiveness or shape.

  Design:

  • Four aluminum rods in the back section of the LumboLoc align the lumbar spine and help it to adopt an anatomically correct and pain-free posture. They can be re-shaped if the individual anatomy requires it. The compressive effect upon the abdomen and thus, indirectly, the relief of the lumbar spine can be individually adjusted using the Velcro fastening at the front.
  • The LumboLoc always sits comfortably; the elastic, breathable material fits the body perfectly; Velero fasteners and practical hand straps make handling easier so that LumboLoc can be fitted quickly and simply. This orthosis is therefore a discrete but strong partner in combating back pain.

1. Hand Wash Only:
   • The Lumboloc back brace should be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the structural components, such as the stays and closure system. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the brace.
2. Use Mild Detergent:
   • Wash the brace using mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the materials and reduce the effectiveness of the brace.
3. Wash in Lukewarm Water:
   • Use lukewarm water (not hot) for washing. Hot water can cause the elastic and other materials to lose their shape and elasticity over time.
4. Gentle Scrubbing:
   • Gently scrub the brace with your hands or a soft cloth to remove any dirt, sweat, or debris. Pay attention to areas that come in direct contact with the skin, as they may accumulate more sweat and oils.
5. Rinse Thoroughly:
   • Rinse the brace thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue. Leftover detergent can irritate the skin and damage the fabric.
6. Air Dry Only:
   • Lay the brace flat on a clean towel and let it air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources, such as radiators or hair dryers. Avoid wringing or twisting the brace, as this can distort its shape.
7. Do Not Iron or Tumble Dry:
   • Do not iron the brace or place it in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and the hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures.
8. Store Properly:
   • When not in use, store the Lumboloc back brace in a cool, dry place. Make sure it is not folded in a way that can crease the stays or affect the integrity of the fabric. Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust.
9. Check for Wear and Tear:
   • Regularly inspect the brace for signs of wear and tear, such as frayed fabric, worn-out Velcro, or deformed stays. If any parts appear damaged or worn, consider replacing the brace to maintain its effectiveness.
10. Avoid Excessive Stretching:
    • Avoid overstretching the brace while wearing or adjusting it. Excessive force can cause the elastic to lose its shape and reduce the overall support provided by the brace.

By following these care instructions, you can help maintain the Lumboloc back brace’s durability, comfort, and effectiveness over time.
