Abstract

Our Hybrid Concept Brace is the first solution designed for the modern patient. We’ve reimagined the device from the ground up using a three-pillar approach: Precision, Ease of Use, and Data.

First, Precision. By utilizing 3D scanning, we create a bespoke fit for every patient. Our design specifically targets an anthropometric chest range of 75 to 110 centimeters, ensuring the brace is effective across a wide variety of body types and ages.

Second, Ease of Use. We’ve moved away from complicated screw-based systems. Instead, we use a dual-dial tensioning system paired with snowboard-style ratchet straps. This allows patients to achieve the perfect tension in seconds with a mechanical tactile feel they can trust.

Third, and most importantly, is Data. We have integrated force sensors directly into the brace. For the first time, patients and doctors can see exactly how much pressure is being applied—targeting a range of 20 to 80 Newtons. This transforms a static piece of plastic into a smart medical device that ensures the treatment is actually working.
