EASY-TO-ADJUST REINFORCED LUMBAR
STABILISATION BELT
Characteristics of the LombaStab
For greater efficacy:
• A reinforced back panel (1) and strapped elastic
fabric (2) providing increased lumbar stabilisation.
For greater practicality:
• A sliding handle system (3) making it easier to adjust
the level of compression.
For greater comfort:
• An anatomical cut making the belt more ergonomic.
• An inner back panel lined with Coolmax
comfort.
Indications:
• Non specific low back pain treatment (Acute/
Subacute).
• Adjuvant treatment for secondary low back pain.
Contraindication:
• Do not apply the product in direct contact with
broken skin.
Fitting instructions:
The belt should be worn on top of a t-shirt or a thin vest.
• Open the belt and lay it out completely flat: you must
be able to read the Quick Lacing system (4) and
LombaStab
(4) logos the right way round.

• Check that the two tightening handles (3) are fully
retracted; detach them from the velcro on the
abdominal panel if necessary and pull on both ends
of the belt.
• Once you have prepared it, place the belt around
your waist, on top of a garment such as close-fitting
vest (a):
- The Quick Lacing system and LombaStab
be located on the outside surface of the belt at the
back (i.e. not against the skin).
- The lacing section must be centred over your spine:
the pads should be positioned on either side of the
spine.
- The bottom of the belt must stop at the top of the
crease between the buttocks.
• Fasten the belt using the wide velcro straps, right side
over left side, without pulling too tight or applying any
particular pressure (b - c).
• Adjust the tightness using the two handles: pull them
forwards then fold them flat against the front of the
belt, where they attach like velcro (d - e).
• You can use these two handles to adjust the level of
compression as required throughout the day.
