Ensures clear views from diagnostic imaging studies
Every VertAlign® back brace is fully compatible with diagnostic imaging, which embraces protection of patients from the time of presentation through and beyond early diagnostic studies. This back brace facilitates clear confirmation of reduction and/or stabilization after application. And with the VertAlign® System, the need for back brace removal during follow-up imaging studies is eliminated.
