Paediatric Spine & TorsoThe Original Boston Brace12Features and BenefitsThe Boston Bracing system was conceived in Boston’s Children’s Hospitalin 1972 and subsequently developed as a cooperative venture between BillMiller CPO and Dr John Hall.This same Boston Brace system is widely used throughout the world andis still regarded as the preferred treatment protocol for the conservativetreatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis.Over the years, other braces have emerged which exhibit similar shapesand purposes and the term “Boston Brace” has often been applied to them.However, none of these braces have managed to repeat the success of theoriginal Boston Brace and none can be compared in terms of the volume ofmedical based evidence available to support its effectiveness.The original Boston Brace system for the non-operative treatment ofidiopathic scoliosis, utilises a prefabricated, standardised symmetricalmodule chosen on the basis of the patients physical dimensions.The brace is manufactured from polypropylene and lined with foam. TheBoston Brace system is still the preferred choice in the non-operativetreatment of scoliosis.Indications for Use• Idiopathic Scoliosis Benefits• Proven System• 30 stock sizes• Available in 15° and 0° lordosis• Custom made to measurements OR cast Brace / Curve Types• Lumbar curves – Apex L1 and below• Thoracic / Double Curves – Apex up to T6• Thoraco – Lumbar curves – Apex T12 –L1• Low Thoracic Curves – Apex T10 – T11• Standard Material• Orthopaedic grade copolymer, Hypo-allergenic Polyethylene foam liner34567891011121314Please contact Customer Services for a measurement chart15Fax: 0113 2725689 | Web: www.rslsteeper.com 307
