TRIVES Hip Joint Support Brace

TRIVES Hip Abduction Orthosis for Infants and Children

The TRIVES Hip Abduction Orthosis (T.42.34/T-8404) is a specialized device designed to support and position the hip joint in infants and children. This gentle, yet effective orthosis helps correct hip dysplasia, subluxation (partial dislocation), and preluxation (dislocation risk). By maintaining the hip in a functional position of flexion and abduction, the TRIVES orthosis promotes proper development of the acetabulum (hip socket) and reduces stress on the joint.

Benefits:

• Corrects Hip Dysplasia: Effectively addresses mild cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
• Supports Healthy Development: Encourages the proper formation and growth of the hip joint.
• Reduces Pain and Discomfort: Provides gentle support, easing pressure and improving comfort.
• Facilitates Rehabilitation: Assists in post-operative recovery from hip procedures.
• Easy to Use: Designed for comfortable wear and easy application.

Indications:

• Mild developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
• Hip subluxation
• Hip preluxation

Contraindications:

• Irreducible hip dislocation
• Malignant neoplasms in the treatment area
• Contact dermatitis, trophic ulcers, or pressure sores in the application area
• Allergic reaction to product materials
• The need for custom orthotic fitting

Important Considerations:

• Professional Guidance: Always consult a physician or orthopedic specialist before using this device. Proper diagnosis and fitting are crucial.
• Pain Management: Discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately if your child experiences pain or discomfort while wearing the orthosis.
• Sizing: The size of the orthosis should be determined based on the child's age and physical development. Early intervention is key in addressing hip dysplasia. While Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often recommends hip support for DDH, it is essential to follow your doctor's specific recommendations.
• Post-Operative Use: The TRIVES orthosis can be used to support the hip joint's recovery after surgery. It helps reduce stress during the healing process.
