Ergodyne ProFlex 1600 Back Support Brace, XL, Black

The Ergodyne ProFlex 100 Economy Spandex Back Support is designed to remind workers of proper lifting techniques while also enhancing the body's intra-abdominal pressure, moving the stress away from the spine for back pain relief. Features rubber track webbing to help keep the support in position.

To choose the right size, use a flexible measuring tape and find the circumference around your body at your belly button. The support should fit snugly around your hips with the front of the support two-fingers width below your navel. An easy-to-use hook & loop closure keeps the belt securely fastened while in use and can be worn over or underneath clothing. Adjust the suspenders straps to fit securely on your shoulders without causing tension. The back support can be turned into a back support belt by simply detaching the shoulder straps from the belt.

Ergodyne ProFlex Back Supports provide lower back support and abdominal support for lifting heavy objects. Tightening the back support belt enhances the body's intra-abdominal pressure and moves the stress away from the spine. When the back support is worn correctly, the worker will have additional support for lifting and is more likely to use proper posture. When not lifting, be sure to loosen the belt. The back support is great for a variety of jobs that require heavy lifting, such as airport luggage handlers, warehouse/distribution employees, material handling, construction crews, maintenance, assembly/fabrication, landscaping/grounds.

While wearing a back brace cannot guarantee the prevention of workplace injury or be a cure for lower back pain, when used properly, these supports will provide extra lumbar support, promote proper lifting techniques, and help you through a work day of bending, twisting, and schlepping.

After 25 years and at least 30 positive epidemiological studies, there is a wealth of research that proves the effectiveness of back support. Smart companies, both big and small, have learned the value of using back support to provide crucial truncal support and limiting the range of motion associated with most back injuries. Now, workers can fearlessly pick up the package, the slack, and the pace.

The Ergodyne ProFlex 100 Economy Spandex Back Support features an extra-firm, premium 9-inch / 22.9-cm all-elastic body that provides firm support. The contoured high-cut front panel ensures a comfortable fit, while the non-conductive polypropylene stays ensure long-lasting integrity. The adjustable, detachable suspenders keep the belt in place, and the rubber track webbing prevents the support from riding up.
