Rib fracture orthosis
The Chrisofix Chest Splint is an effective, safe and easy-to-use device for the treatment of rib fractures. It quickly reduces pain and helps improve lung capacity reducing the risk of pneumonia and other complications.
Reduces pain immediately!
The splint is for a single use of about 10 days. For longer treatment a new splint might be necessary. Made since 2004, the Chrisofix rib splint is used all over the world. It is not a rib wrap; it immobilises the fractured ribs to help them heal more quickly.
Pain relief for fractured or broken ribs, this innovative splint maintains rib support and aids your healing. It holds the ribs in position by acting like an external cast and reduces your pain quickly.
The Chrisofix rib splint is made using high-quality materials and is comfortable to wear for up to 10 days. It is an effective way to relieve the pain from broken ribs and speed up the healing process. It increases patient mobility and reduces the risk of further complications.
Simply by applying the patch on the skin, the rib splint sticks to the skin and holds the ribs in place. The size of splint needed will depend on the number of fractured or broken ribs.
