Mediven Lumbamed Disc

Lumbamed Disc

The Lumbamed disc is a lumbar support with adjustable stabilisation system. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the lower back and only on intact skin or if any wounds have been properly covered.

Mode of action

Lumbamed disc stabilises the lower thoracic and lumbar spine area as well as the transition to the pelvis without impairing the muscular power, using a combination of compressing knitted fabric, internal back rods and an external strap supporting system. The statics of the spine are improved and the spinal segments concerned are relieved, which reduces pain. Variable supporting elements make a quick mobilisation possible. The stability of the brace can be adjusted to the process of recovery by removing the strap supporting system. Moreover, the internal back rods can be replaced by more flexible
rods. This activates the trunk musculature step by step. Your attending physician will specify the corresponding steps of therapy.

In principle, the support can and should be worn all day at the beginning of the therapy and in particular after operations to support the success of the treatment. The special cut in the area of the groin (Comfort Zone) is decisive for the correct and comfortable fit of the support. If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off the product immediately and seek medical advice. The support is suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out the product thoroughly

Indications

• Slipped disk, disk protrusion (including after operations)
• Repeated blockages in the lower part of the back
• Pain due to attrition (e.g. arthrosis of the vertebral joints)
• Muscular imbalance of the abdomen/back

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.

Care instructions

Before washing, please remove the internal rods as well as the strap supporting system by detaching it from the Y connecting piece. During replacement make sure that the medi logo on the back stays is at the top. Velcro fasteners should be closed for washing. We recommend using a laundry bag. Fabric softener, fats, oils and ointments can attack the material and the Clima Comfort Effect can be impaired. Soap residues can cause skin irritation and material wear.

• Wash the product by hand, preferably using a medi clean detergent, or in delicate cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent without fabric conditioners.
• Do not bleach.
• Leave to dry naturally.
• Do not iron.
• Do not dry clean.
