METFORCE® TLSO
The Megaforce TLSO Compression Back Brace for Injury Recovery from ARYSE is designed to perfectly balance both support and comfort. The belt separates into three components: the back cushion, the left belt, and the right belt. Both the left and right belts are pleated at the inner end and can be folded at different pleats to adjust their length for a proper fit around your torso. Hook-and-loop straps ensure the belt stays securely in place once fitted but remains easy to remove when you need to take it off.
Once the length is adjusted to fit comfortably, the shoulder and sternal straps can be adjusted to provide you with the proper level of support and comfort. Then, the pulley system can be tightened to provide the right level of pressure that’s most comfortable for you and is easily operated with a single hand pull that attaches securely to the front of the brace.
