Aspen OTS™ Lower Spine Braces The Aspen OTS line of inelastic braces offers a non-narcotic, non-invasive treatment option for patients experiencing muscle fatigue and spasms, which can cause pain. These low profile, one size adjustable braces combine trunk stability and targeted compression where needed to support tight muscles, enabling patients to regain activities of daily living. One Size Adjustable Comfortably fits waists ranging from 28 to 54 inches and up to 64 inches with the extension panel. Simple pull‑through sizing mechanism offers multiple sizes in one brace, enabling each brace to comfortably fit various patient shapes and sizes. One size adjustable means the correct size is always on hand, minimizing inventory requirements and significantly reducing costs. Aspen Pain Therapy Braces Proven Effective in Promoting Trunk Stability Research shows that inelastic braces are significantly more effective at improving trunk stability than elastic braces,1,2,3 a key factor in relieving muscle spasms which can cause pain. Increased trunk stability reduces the load on overtaxed muscles,4 so tightened and fatigued muscles can relax. Aspen lower spine braces are inelastic by design, backed by years of innovative research and development. 1.
