Advice after your nerve block for surgery
On this page…
The Bea Comfort is a fabric TLSO, designed specifically for patients who will not conform to a traditional hard shell brace. The fabric TLSO is constructed from a white ventilated elastic material for all day breathability.
The ventilated material optimises air flow whilst providing gentle compression. The brace also features Velfoam pads and rigid steels.
The brace has two straps that are passed over both shoulders and then underneath each arm, the extra padding can be positioned under the arm pit for comfort.
The straps should then be crossed over at the back and then pulled across the abdomen and velcro’ed to each other to provide support.
The brace pulls the shoulders back in order to prevent a ‘stooping’ posture.

Patients should wear the brace over a vest or T shirt to prevent pressure sores. It can usually be removed when laying flat in bed as it is worn to aid mobility, however check with your doctor to clarify when your brace can be removed.
