SCOLIOSIS
AND HOW TORSO INTERFACES CAN HELP
WHY YOU NEED TORSO INTERFACE
Discomfort From a Scoliosis Brace
Scoliosis is a condition that refers to a curvature of the spine. The condition is very often diagnosed during adolescence. A common treatment for moderate cases of scoliosis is a back brace. The brace helps to hold the spine upright to prevent further curvature. The brace usually fits tight against the body and is made of plastic. Since it must be worn for the majority of the day, it can lead to irritation on the skin caused by constant rubbing.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Protect From Painful Rubbing and Irritation
Knit-Rite Torso Interfaces provide a protective barrier between your skin and your scoliosis brace. The super soft and comfortable interface is made of stretchy yarns so that the interface fits snugly and comfortably against the skin, preventing wrinkling that can cause more points of irritation. The fibers also wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortably cool.
