New MKS lumbar brace supports announced

Brace Orthopaedic will now offer two new product options to the MKS Pontsana lumbar support range of braces, Pontsana Mobil and Pontsana Stabil.

The highly innovative German manufacturer of the MKS range, Albrecht has developed these new products to provide clinicians with advanced treatment options and greater patient compliance. Demo of Pontsana Stabil

The adjustability and flexibility of the new Pontsana Stabil (pictured being demonstrated by clinician Brigitte Schroder) makes it exceptionally effective at treating the symptoms of lumbar sciatica. All of its features are patient centric to achieve both the best fit and acceptance possible.

Pontsana Mobil has the added advantage of detachable lateral straps and posterior support. This allows the clinician the option to reduce the level of support to the patient with the same brace during the patient’s rehabilitation but should there be a lapse at any stage the removable support element is simply re-applied.

The expansion of the MKS lumbar brace supports was announced at Albrecht’s annual International Distributors Meeting held in Germany last week and customer training and education on these new products is now available from Brace Orthopaedic.

New reduced anterior height for MKS Body Belt and Body Belt Plus

Here at Brace Orthopaedic we always listen to feedback from our customers on the unique products we supply to them. A few of our clinicians (who are regular users of the MKS modular spinal bracing system) suggested that the Body Belt with a reduced anterior height might be a really useful treatment option for smaller adults, adolescents and paediatric patients.

body-beltIn response to this request we contacted our inventive manufacturer of the MKS system, Albrecht in Germany, and asked them if it would be possible. The response was positive and within a few months reality. We are therefore delighted to announce that all of the Body Belt and Body Belt Plus sizes are now available with a reduced anterior height of 14cm. The posterior heights have also been reduced in proportion. We believe this to be the only stock range of its kind offering this solution and are delighted to have been able to bring another customer-led request to reality.

The MKS Body Belt is a semi-elastic bandaging orthotic that supports the lumbar vertebral column by building up circular pressure in the abdomen. The MKS Body Belt Plus provides all of these benefits with the added bonus of additional tensioning straps that can further enhance the abdominal pressure. Both Belt options have an integrated pocket to accept one of the modular Osteo back pieces, to create a semi bespoke TLSO solution.

The MKS Body Belt and Body Belt Plus are available as stock items from Brace Orthopaedic in the following sizes:
