Rib belts are often prescribed for treatment of injured or broken ribs, sternum, middle, and upper back support, and compression for hernias. Rib Belt is applied to the thoracic and upper abdominal region to compress and bind the rib cage during rib fractures and postoperative care, while allowing sufficient flexibility for comfortable breathing. Gives excellent stabilization and support for rib and sternum while injured, also providing necessary compression to treat hernias.
