Medi Lumbamed Maternity

Lumbar support for stabilisation during pregnancy

Pregnancy requires the body to perform at a high level. The mother's growing baby belly and its associated weight gain shift her body's centre of gravity, increasing the burden on her lumbar spine and pelvis. This often causes pain in these body areas during the course of the pregnancy. Lumbamed maternity provides soothing relief and stability while supporting the hollow of the back. The strap fits perfectly to the growing shape of the belly and is continuously adjustable. The expectant mother can easily and individually adjust the degree of support by pulling on the lateral tension straps. Lumbamed maternity does not restrict the unborn baby's freedom of movement.

Product Features:

• The orthosis supports the abdomen and counteracts its increased tensile forces.

• The traction effect of the abdomen reduced by the orthosis relieves the abdominal wall, pelvis and lumbar spine and can relieve pain.

• Integrated stabilization rods offer additionally relieve for the lumbar spine.

Intended Purpose:

Lumbamed maternity supports and alleviates stress on the tissue structures in the stomach, pelvis and the lumbar region during pregnancy. The material wraps around the body and has integrated support slats in the lumbar region and tension can be adapted to the individual. All of this alleviates the increased stress on the region caused by the growing weight of the stomach, and pain is thus reduced.
