ORTHOMERICA® INTRODUCES THE COSMIC™ SPINAL SYSTEM

The COSMIC™ Spinal System is the newest member of Orthomerica’s extensive family of prefabricated, semi-custom, and custom orthoses. The COSMIC is a multi-functional, modular orthosis that addresses spinal control from the acute phase through rehabilitation, and can be transformed into a variety of orthoses throughout the recovery period. During the acute phase, the Scapular Thoracic Extension (STE) provides thoracic and lumbar control. As the patient progresses, the components can be changed into a thermoplastic standard LSO, a low profile LSO, and finally an orthopedic grade compression orthosis. The versatility of this system not only provides patients with the most comprehensive spinal orthosis on the market, but is cost effective for patients, orthotic facilities, and third party payors.

The COSMIC includes Orthomerica’s popular Compound Closure System, featuring a one-handed adjustable pull-tab for increased or decreased compression. The overlapping and interlocking anterior and posterior shells provide uniform circumferential coverage and control. All components are adjustable and interchangeable.

The COSMIC Spinal System package comes complete with the following:

* Anterior and posterior thermoplastic shells with foam liners
* Neutral or pendulous fronts
* Scapular thoracic extension (STE)
* Two lateral liners
* Low profile spinal components including two mesh lateral panels with polyethylene inserts, low profile anterior panel with inserts and lumbar pad
* Compound Closure System

An anterior thoracic extension (ATE) with shoulder straps or a strap kit can be added to the STE to encourage thoracic extension and rotational control. The COSMIC is available custom-fitted and custom-to-measurements for same day shipment in twenty different sizes.
