Indication: For clinical treatment of Pectus Excavatum: patients too young for surgery, recurrence cases, those who do not accept surgery, or as preparation for surgery. It provides traction, mobility, flexibility, and stimulation to the site of the deformity, and it can be used together with other conservative methods, including physiotherapy and during physical activity.
Mechanism of Action: This is a silicone orthosis that, when used by male patients, has the shape of a disc/bell integrated with a transparent rigid visor/lid. The combination of these elements turns the device into a powerful suction cup. Once positioned on the chest, the patient simply uses the manual pump attached to the orthosis to create a vacuum on the anterior thoracic wall, applying negative pressure. This device should be used in cases of Pectus Excavatum, which is the most common chest wall malformation and one of the most frequent congenital anomalies.
