Mediven Lumbamed Facet

Lumbamed Facet

The Lumbamed facet is a lumbar support orthotic device for the treatment of lumbar column problems. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the lumbar area and only on intact skin.

Mode of action

The Lumbamed facet operates using a combination of compressing knitted fabric, stabilising back rods and a pullstrap system which increases pressure. Abdominal compression and trunk musculature support relieve the strain on the lumbar column and thereby ease
pain. The four crossover pull straps create a double three-point system with the dorsal points of application on the pelvis and in the upper lumbar spine area. Through individual pressure management, this three-point strap system increases the effect of reducing lordosis formation.
Basically, the orthotic can be worn all day long. The special cut in the groin area (Comfort Zone) ensures that the fit of the support is comfortable and just right. However, the length of time you wear it
should depend on your needs.
