The TLSO “Horizon 456” is a non-elastic thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis designed for trunk motion restriction and stable fitting across the thoracic & lumbar area. It features adjustable shoulder straps and a controlled tightening system for gradual fit adjustment, with a low-profile design intended for day-to-day wear.
Features TLSO “Horizon 456”
A one-size adjustable concept covering a wide waist range, supporting easier sizing decisions and inventory handling.
Independent top & bottom compression helps you fine-tune the fit more precisely, instead of applying the same tightness everywhere.
Telescoping shoulder straps adjust in height up to 33 cm, improving alignment for different torso heights.
The posterior-oriented structure aims to maintain positioning during movement, providing a supported feel in a streamlined profile.
Integrated anterior panels with FlexTabs are designed to conform to anatomy and help disperse pressure more evenly at the contact area.
Low-profile pull tabs are designed to lay flat while remaining easy to locate by feel for quick daily adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the practical benefit of independent top & bottom tightening compared to a basic brace?
Independent adjustment lets you tune the fit more precisely: you can set a different tightness higher and lower, achieving a more “locked-in” feel where needed instead of applying uniform compression everywhere.
When would I need the Extension Panel, and what changes in daily use?
If the waist circumference exceeds the standard 71–137 cm range, the Extension Panel expands fitting up to 178 cm. In practice, it adds belt length so the brace can close correctly and the tightening system works as intended.
How can I improve comfort and reduce shifting during the day?
A thin cotton or seamless base layer can reduce friction, and it helps to perform the initial adjustments while standing steadily before moving. If pressure points occur, small anti-chafing protective pads may improve comfort, following clinician guidance for proper fitting.
