The Summit 456 TLSO was designed to both aid in promoting a more natural posture and provide a low profile, post-surgical TLSO option. In terms of postural correction, the brace is designed to help re-educate a patients’ muscles with the therapeutic goal to return them to a functional mid-range. For patients who do not require the motion restriction of an anterior rigid TLSO, the Summit 456 TLSO is a viable solution post-surgery as well. Because the Summit 456 TLSO is comfortable to wear and easy to don and doff, it also helps improve patient compliance. The telescoping shoulder straps provide 13 inches of height adjustment to effectively fit patients. This, along with circumferential adjustability, helps enable a tailored fit to accommodate most body types. The malleable aluminum support can be conformed to fit varying anatomies and is designed to help restore balance and reduce daily pain. All structural components are easily removed and can be heat molded, bent or trimmed to further customize the brace to accommodate various individual patient conditions. Anterior panels at each end of the brace overlap to provide added midline support. Featuring Aspen’s innovative FlexTabs, these panels disperse pressure and naturally conform to each patient’s anatomy to help increase comfort. The unique sizing mechanism allows for quick and easy sizing adjustments, without the use of tools. The Summit 456 TLSO is available in a one-size adjustable and in the original sized versions: Adjustable (26 to 60 inches), Small (26 to 34 inches), Medium (33 to 42 inches), Large (41 to 51 inches), X-Large (50 to 60 inches).
