AND HOW TORSO INTERFACES CAN HELP

WHY YOU NEED TORSO INTERFACE

Discomfort From a Spinal Fracture Brace

Wearing a back brace is common treatment for spinal fracture. The purpose of a back brace is to support the back and restrict movement of the back while it heals. Back braces vary in shape and material, but the common idea is that they fit snugly against the body. This snug fit can lead to rubbing and irritation of the skin, especially under the arms.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Protect From Painful Rubbing and Irritation

A Knit-Rite Torso Interface can provide protection from rubbing and irritation of the skin. A Torso Interface is a lightweight T-shirt made from super soft and stretchy yarns. The stretchiness creates a shirt that fits snugly and comfortably against the skin, preventing wrinkling that can cause irritation points under the brace. Another important way that Torso Interface prevents irritation is by wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping your body dry and more comfortable.
