Mediven Lumbamed Basic

Lumbamed Basic

The Lumbamed basic is a lumbar support. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the lower back and only on intact skin.

Mode of action

Please note that initial fitting should be supervised by a healthcare professional. With the combination of the compressive knitted fabric and the integrated back rods, Lumbamed basic stabilises the area of the lumbar spine and the border to the pelvis, without impairing muscular strength. The static forces in the vertebral column are
improved and stress on the affected segments is reduced. This alleviates pain.

Supports cause the greatest effect during physical exercise. In principal, the support can be worn all day. However, this depends on how comfortable the support is to wear. The support should be taken off for longer breaks (e.g. sitting for a long time or a long car
drive, sleeping).

If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off the product immediately and seek medical advice. The support is also suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out the product thoroughly.

Indications

• Non-specific pain in the area of the lumbar spine
• Wear-related pain in the area of the lumbar spine
• Irritation of the sacro-iliac joint
• Excessive stress on the border between the lumbar spine and the pelvis
• Weak or imbalanced musculature in the trunk (back or stomach)

Contraindications

There are no known side effects if the correctly sized product is fitted as recommended. If unexpected pain, swelling or numbness occurs while wearing the support, remove it and seek medical advice. Particular care is required where the following conditions are present:

• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive warming, swelling or reddening).

Any combination with other products must be discussed in advance with the responsible doctor.
