Intended purpose
The Lumbamed active is a lumbar
support. The product is exclusively to be
used for the orthotic fitting of the lower
back and only on intact skin.
Indications
• Lower back pain caused by myostatic
and muscular insufficiency
• Irritation of the small
intervertebral joint
• Ligament disease
• Slight structural loosening of the
lumbar vertebral column e.g.
associated with degenerative
joint changes, spondylosis and
osteo arthritis of the spine
• Problems following discectomy
• Irritative conditions of the
iliosacral joint
Contraindications
None known to date
Mode of action
Lumbamed active appreciably reduces
the load on the lumbar spine and
assists the back muscles, relieving low
back pain and muscle spasm. The four
integrated, anatomically moulded
tension springs, with a preset angle of
35° can be adjusted individually to
give a perfect fit to the anatomy of the
lumbosacral region. The lining of the
support ensures that moisture is wicked
away from the underlying skin during
normal use.
