Ergodyne 11103 ProFlex 1600 Back Support Brace, Medium, Black

The Ergodyne ProFlex 100 Economy Spandex Back Support is designed to provide lower back support and abdominal support for workers lifting heavy objects. It features rubber track webbing to help keep the support in position, and an easy-to-use hook & loop closure to keep the belt securely fastened while in use. The support can be worn over or underneath clothing, and the suspenders can be adjusted to fit securely on the worker's shoulders without causing tension.

To choose the right size, users should use a flexible measuring tape to find the circumference around their body at the belly button. The support should fit snugly around the hips, with the front of the support two-fingers width below the navel.

The Ergodyne ProFlex Back Supports work by enhancing the body's intra-abdominal pressure, which moves the stress away from the spine, helping to relieve back pain. When the back support is worn correctly, the worker will have additional support for lifting and is more likely to use proper posture. It is important to remember to loosen the belt when not lifting.

These supports are suitable for a variety of jobs that require heavy lifting, including airport luggage handling, warehouse/distribution work, material handling, construction, maintenance, assembly/fabrication, and landscaping/grounds work. While they cannot guarantee the prevention of workplace injury or a cure for lower back pain, they can provide extra lumbar support and promote proper lifting techniques.

After 25 years and at least 30 positive epidemiological studies, there is a wealth of research that proves the effectiveness of back support. Smart companies, both big and small, have recognized the value of these back-supporting devices, which provide crucial truncal support and limit the range of motion associated with most back injuries.

The Ergodyne ProFlex 100 Economy Spandex Back Support features an extra-firm, 9-inch (22.9 cm) all-elastic body that provides premium support. The contoured high-cut front panel ensures a comfortable fit, and the polypropylene stays ensure long-lasting integrity. The adjustable, detachable suspenders keep the belt in place, while the rubber track webbing prevents it from riding up.

Overall, the Ergodyne ProFlex 100 Economy Spandex Back Support is a reliable and effective solution for workers who need additional support and protection during heavy lifting and other physically demanding tasks.
