Ordering a Custom Pectus Brace

This guide walks you through how our pectus braces are designed, the information needed to order one, and the customization options available. The goal is to help you place an order confidently and ensure the best possible fit for your patient.

How Our Pectus Braces Are Custom-Made

Each pectus brace is designed using patient-specific anatomy. Rather than relying on standard sizing, braces are created from uploaded scans and measurements to target the exact deformity. This allows for:

• Improved comfort and fit
• More precise corrective pressure
• Better long-term compliance

Custom shaping ensures the brace applies force where it is needed while minimizing pressure on surrounding areas.

FAQs

• Can I add a rib flare extension later on? Yes, you can absolutely start with a standard brace and add rib flares down the road if needed.

• Do you offer refunds? Because this is a custom product, we do not offer refunds. However, if there are any issues with the brace when you first receive it, let us know right away so we can adjust things if needed.
