DonJoy Cromax clavicle brace – for stable support and correct shoulder position
A clavicle fracture is an injury in which proper positioning and stabilization of the shoulder girdle during the healing period is essential. The DonJoy Cromax clavicle orthosis is designed to support the shoulder in an anatomically correct position and can be used in cases of clavicle fractures, as well as for posture correction.
The design of the orthosis helps to keep the shoulders back and limits their forward movement. This is especially important after a collarbone injury, when it is necessary to ensure proper position and support for the shoulder girdle.
When to use the DonJoy Cromax orthosis?
DonJoy Cromax is intended for use in the treatment of clavicle fractures, both with and without dislocation. Depending on the nature of the injury and the treatment strategy prescribed by your doctor, the orthosis can help provide the necessary support for the shoulder girdle during recovery.
The second important indication for use is maintaining body posture and shoulder position. The design of the orthosis prevents the shoulders from moving excessively forward, so it can be useful in situations where it is necessary to promote a more upright position of the shoulders and upper back. If the orthosis is used after a fracture or other injury, it is recommended to coordinate the need and duration of its use with a doctor, traumatologist, orthopedist or other medical specialist.
How does DonJoy Cromax work?
The orthosis is designed to provide stable, yet adjustable shoulder support. It has a back fastening system with adjustable Velcro straps, which allows you to adjust the degree of fixation of the orthosis to the individual user.
The design also uses acromioclavicular straps, which help ensure the necessary positioning of the shoulder girdle. The acromioclavicular area is anatomically connected to the joint between the clavicle and the scapula, so thoughtful shoulder fixation is especially important in cases of clavicle injuries.
To make the orthosis more comfortable to wear, the shoulder area is padded. This helps reduce the pressure on the shoulder area from the straps and improves comfort, especially if the orthosis is to be worn for a longer period of time as prescribed by a specialist.
