medi Lumbamed Facet - Specialized Facet Joint Lumbar Support
The medi Lumbamed Facet is a precision-engineered clinical orthosis designed specifically for the treatment of facet joint osteoarthritis and chronic lumbar degeneration. By utilizing a unique 3-point strap system, this support creates targeted intra-abdominal pressure that encourages a neutral pelvic tilt, effectively "opening" and unweighting the facet joints of the lower spine.
Nationwide Shipping & Regional Expertise
Medical Department Store is an authorized medi provider. While we offer rapid nationwide shipping, our local expertise in Southwest Florida—including our Sarasota, Naples, and Fort Myers showrooms—ensures that every product is vetted for the breathability standards required in humid coastal climates. The Clima Comfort fabric is designed to keep you cool during all-day wear.
Key Features & Benefits
- 3-Point Strap System: Provides customizable, targeted abdominal compression that specifically reduces lordosis (the curve of the lower back) to relieve facet joint pressure.
- Anatomical Stabilization: Integrated stays are strategically positioned to provide paraspinal support, reducing muscle fatigue and preventing painful spasms.
- Clima Comfort Fabric: Highly breathable and moisture-wicking weave ensures the skin remains dry and comfortable, even in the Southwest Florida humidity.
- Ergonomic Hand Loops: Allows for easy, high-tension application for patients with limited hand strength or arthritis.
Clinical Authority: Unweighting the Facet Joints
The Lumbamed Facet is clinically indicated for facet joint osteoarthritis, spondylosis, and chronic disc protrusion. Unlike traditional braces that provide general compression, this model focuses on "sacroiliac stabilization" and pelvic positioning. By stabilizing the pelvic ring and reducing the anterior tilt, the brace increases the space between the articular processes (the facet joints), significantly reducing mechanical pain and inflammation.
Top Industry Applications
- Seniors & Active Retirees: Provides the structural support needed for golfing, walking, and maintaining an active lifestyle in Southwest Florida.
- Healthcare Professionals: Ideal for clinicians and caregivers who require targeted stabilization during long shifts and patient transfers.
- Professional Office Environments: Low-profile design corrects postural fatigue and supports the spine during prolonged sitting in Naples or Sarasota.
