ORTONYX 6.25" Broken Rib Support Brace Unisex - Elastic Chest Wrap Comppression Support Belt - Rehabilitation of Cracked, Fractured, Dislocated Ribs Post-Surgery Aid S/M Beige / ACOX5226-BG-SM

Band looks non-medical in black, with silver threads. It is well constructed and has an open weave for ventilation. I wear it outside my t-shirt as it would be too rough on my skin. I strained my ribs coughing during the flu and this band is really helping the sore spot heal.

I’ve had broken ribs before and used braces from the doctor that were essentially ace-type bandages that were ineffective. This brace, however, is exactly what I have been looking for. I broke two, fractured one, tore the intercostal muscles on three ribs, and separated the cartilage on two of my ribs. The docs discussed a temporary hard cast, but they said that as long as I found a quality brace and wore it religiously for the next month, they’d forego the cast. So, enter this support brace. The material is very soft and doesn’t irritate my skin, so I can use it right on my chest, or on top of my undershirt. There is strong elastic and compression fibers in it that allow me to control how hard I stretch and tighten the brace around my chest. The hook and loop secures and stays intact with a firm connection, which mitigates the concern and actual occurrence of any slippage or unwanted movement of the brace during the day. I’m very pleased with this brace, and most certainly would purchase it again. I’m 5’10, 175lbs, and male- for reference.

Massive help with my ribs discomfort. Makes it manageable and I can sleep, uncomfortable no matter but it does what I wanted from it. The downside to this vs others is that if you have boobs they will cause the brace to become misshapen and roll (I have 38F breasts and they hang over my ribs- it was difficult to get comfortable with it running the undersides of my breasts) - for those looking that have breasts there are other braces that have a smaller chunk where boobs can go

This works for its intended purpose, to provide compression on my rib/liver area. I just wished it was longer and had softer edges by the velcro closure area. It scratches my skin when I bend. Maybe tapering the edges?

Finally a wrap that fits a small person. I can wrap it as tight as I need. The Velcro is all the way around the wrap. Fantastic!

I used this product for a pulled back muscle and it worked well. It was a bit tight to close i probably should have ordered a larger size.

The elasticity in the brace is secure and strong. The brace is 6 inches wide which doesn't fit me as iam a short waisted women. This brace is more suited towards men as there are no curves. It is just a straight cut. The material is alittle scratchy on the skin. I purchased a s/m and it definitely runs small. These are the reasons that I returned the brace back. Definitely measure before you purchase to make sure it is the correct size.

Speedy delivery and works great!
