Lerman Minerva Cervical Orthosis

When more severe spinal stabilsation is required, it's vital that as much movement of the spine as possible can be reduced. The Lerman Minerva Cervical Orthosis has been developed to provide spinal stabilisation from C3 to T2 vertebrae, controlling movement of the cervical spine.

Secure Spinal Control

The Lerman Minerva orthosis provides control of flexion and extension, as well lateral and rotary movements of the cervical spine. This enables the spine to be secured and fixed in the correct position. A built-in forehead strap prevents movement further, giving the orthosis additional support and stabilisation.

What's more, the posterior section of the orthosis utilises a moveable and shaped occipital support to aid stabilisation even more. The chest plate also features a sliding mandibular support with a trachea opening.

Versatile Design and High Comfort

The orthosis is made from anterior and posterior shells, which are joined together by torso and shoulder straps, enabling wearers to move their arms more freely while ensuring spinal support is maintained. The entire brace is completely MRI safe, enabling it to be worn more consistently throughout care and treatment to ensure consistent proper support to the spine.

The brace also provides the wearer with increased comfort, thanks to the built in silicone chin pad. By increasing comfort, this also helps to ensure greater compliance by the wearer, reducing movement further.
