The Clavicle Strap Orthosis (often called a figure-8 brace) is designed to stabilize the shoulder girdle, providing the firm support needed for clavicle fractures to heal or to correct long-term postural habits.

Key Features

• Optimal Stabilization: The “figure-8” design holds the shoulders in a retracted position, ensuring the clavicle (collarbone) remains aligned for proper healing after a fracture or break.
• Postural Correction: Trains your muscles to stay upright, effectively treating “slumping” or rounded shoulders caused by extended desk work or “tech neck.”
• Breathable Comfort: Constructed with high-quality, moisture-wicking foam and soft stockinette padding to prevent underarm chafing and skin irritation during all-day wear.
• Easy Adjustability: Features heavy-duty hook-and-loop closures that allow you to customize the tension level as your comfort and mobility improve.
• Low-Profile Design: Slim enough to be worn discreetly under most clothing, so you can maintain your recovery or posture routine at work or on the go.

When to Use a Clavicle Strap

• Post-Fracture Recovery: Provides non-surgical stabilization for simple collarbone breaks.
• Posture Therapy: Helps alleviate upper back pain by preventing the shoulders from rolling forward.
• Post-Surgical Support: Offers additional security following shoulder or acromioclavicular (AC) joint procedures.

Sizing & Fit

To find your size, measure the circumference of your chest at the base of the sternum. The brace should be snug enough to pull the shoulders back gently but not so tight that it restricts circulation or causes numbness in the arms.

Pro Tip: For maximum comfort, wear the strap over a thin, snug-fitting t-shirt rather than directly against the skin.
