Pectus Carinatum Brace Treatment
Non-surgical treatment with the brace represents one of the most common and effective techniques to treat pectus carinatum.
This is accomplished by a specially fitted compression brace around the circumference of the chest that applies the correct pressure to reshape the chest and decrease the bony protrusion.
The success of bracing therapy is directly related to the elasticity of the chest wall and the number of hours per day the patient applies the brace.
We recommend you wear the brace for several hours per day and for a duration of about a year.
We will regularly, in the outpatient clinic, evaluate the progression of the treatment and adjust the bracing pressure as necessary.
We offer different type of braces for the management of the pectus carinatum including the most advanced FMF Dynamic Compressor.
The major advantage of this bracing system is that it objectively measures the pressure needed to correct the condition.
Bracing treatment for pectus carinatum is very safe.
