3 The orthotics market has evolved considerably in recent times, incorporating a wide range of products, materials and innovative techniques to provide the best functionality, comfort and safety for users. T During this evolution, Orliman, which prides itself on always being at the forefront of research, has sought to develop orthotic solutions that offer greater functionality and feature a high degree of cutting-edge design and technology, taking advantage of its proven track record of excellence and ability to anticipate market needs. One such example is Orliman s new Sternotech orthosis a new concept in Jewett hyperextension braces. MORE LIGHTWEIGHT FUNCTIONAL UPDATED COMFORTABLE DESIGN LATEX-FREE Patented model

4 T A common problem with these kinds of orthosis is that they are often rendered ineffective as the prescribed treatment because, among other things, they are uncomfortable to wear, difficult to fit and excessively heavy. How a Jewett brace works F 2 F 1 F 3 Main force Counterforces A Jewett brace is a rigid limited-contact orthosis that acts on the body by means of a 3-point pressure system. T Most Jewett braces feature a pectoral support with a single-axis hinged joint, resulting in certain limitations of comfort and fit.

5 How does the new pectoral support work on the Sternotech Jewett brace? Jewett STERNOTECH Its revolutionary three-dimensional system provides movement on three axes thanks to pectoral hinges that ensure a snug fit to the chest and achieve a full elastic range. This new, more comfortable system significantly improves the fit of the brace on the chest, without losing its functionality, and helps the patient tolerate the prescribed treatment much better. 3-axis movement Three-Dimensional Adjustment Technology Patented model

This new, more comfortable support significantly improves the fit of the brace to the patient s body, minimising painful impacts that may influence the use of the orthosis for the prescribed treatment. The articulating pelvic support provides the patient with greater comfort while seated and can be fixed at a specific angle. Its closure system is very secure, fast and easy to use. All of the upper padding is made from foam fabric, thermoformed for greater comfort, and can be easily removed thanks to its Velcro fastening system. Effects Hyperextension of the spinal column by means of a three-point support system. Mechanical discharge of the vertebral bodies in the lower thoracic and upper lumbar areas. Stabilisation and restriction of spinal movements. Pain relief. Indications Compression fractures. Vertebral pain caused by secondary metastasis. Spondyloarthritis associated or unassociated with arthroscopic sclerosis. Chronic lumbalgia, lumbosciatica and dorsalgia. Medium-term immobilisation after intervertebral disc surgery. Stable vertebral fractures of the lower dorsal spine and lumbar spine. Temporary orthotic care after unstable vertebral body fracture surgery. Permanent orthotic care after vertebral body tumour and metastasis surgery. Post-surgical care after decompression spine surgery with or without internal fixation.

Closure system incorporating a concealed catch to enable the closure system to be released, and preventing it from accidentally opening due to friction or being knocked. DORSOLUMBAR SUPPORT Thanks to this system, the patient can opt for vertical or horizontal positioning for greater comfort. Refs.: J001AG / J002AG The articulated models J001AG and J002AG have been designed to enable the angle of the pectoral area to be set to 5 different positions in increments of 20º. Pelvic support that can be set to 3 positions in increments of 20. HORIZONTAL VERTICAL (For multiple fractures or greater comfort)
