Choosing the Right Size
Choosing the correct size brace ensures that each patient gets the best and most comfortable support possible. To find the correct size, take measurements using a soft and flexible measuring tape:
- Measure the distance from the sternal notch (the bottom of the rib cage) to the navel.
- Measure the hip circumference.
- Add both numbers together. Divide the total by two.
If the result falls between two sizes, choose the larger one since the brace is adjustable. For further assistance, users should speak with a licensed medical professional.
