DESCRIPTION

The SacroLoc pelvic orthosis stabilizes the pelvis and relieves pressure on the sacroiliac joints. The circular compression provided by the orthosis’s elastic mesh material and its two tensioning straps straightens the pelvis and relieves the local ligaments. Two dorsal pads are brought into position using a patented tensioning strap system to fit precisely over the sacroiliac joints. They have a massage effect during movement and further enhance the relief provided. The massage nubs have a targeted effect on trigger points and on the insertion points of the stabilizing ligaments and muscles. This promotes circulation, alleviates pain, and releases tension in the lumbosacral area.

SacroLoc’s breathable elastic mesh material sits securely during movement and is comfortable to wear. The orthosis has a slim, flat abdominal closure and can be worn inconspicuously under clothing. The soft edges and the anatomical shape guarantee a secure hold and high wearing comfort. Practical finger pockets on the fastening make it easier to put on and take off the orthosis.

TARGETED EFFECT IN THE LUMBAR REGION

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounts for 25 % of all cases of back pain in the lumbar spine area. With SacroLoc, a combination of elastic and non-elastic knit stabilizes and relieves pressure on this zone, while a two-part pad on the back massages pain spots. This stimulates circulation at certain points, relieving cramps and helping to release tension.

COMFORTABLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE

Thanks to its flat, anatomical fit, SacroLoc is barely noticeable under clothing. It is made of breathable material, thereby ensuring that sufficient air can circulate to the skin. The amount of pressure relief provided by the orthosis can be controlled individually using the tensioning straps. The fasteners have practical finger pockets, so that the orthosis can be put on without needing to exert a lot of strength. SacroLoc therefore combines functionality with a high degree of wearing comfort, and evidence of this is provided by the iF product design award 2010.

PRODUCT CARE

Washing regularly helps our supports maintain their shape and last longer. All Bauerfeind supports are made with machine washable materials.

HERE’S HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BRACE:

For products with Velcro® straps, pads or inserts, remove them if possible, or fasten them securely at the place provided on the brace. Machine wash your brace in cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using a laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite). Lay your support flat and let it air-dry; do not put it in the dryer.

Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain its elasticity and original fit.
