Custom-Made Thoracolumbar Sacral Orthosis (TLSO)
The Custom-Made Thoracolumbar Sacral Orthosis (TLSO) is a specialised spinal support brace designed to provide stability, protection, and controlled immobilisation of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions of the spine. Individually fabricated according to the patient’s body measurements and clinical requirements, the TLSO helps maintain spinal alignment, restrict excessive trunk movements, and support the spine during rehabilitation and recovery. The orthosis features a rigid, anatomically contoured shell, a smooth beige finish, and secure adjustable front fastening straps. Its customised design provides targeted spinal support while accommodating the patient’s body shape for improved fit and comfort.

Important Information
The Custom-Made TLSO is a prescription-based orthotic device that requires professional assessment, accurate body measurements, fabrication, and fitting by a qualified orthotist. The appropriate brace design, level of immobilisation, wearing duration, and follow-up schedule depend on the patient’s diagnosis and medical recommendations. Not all spinal conditions require a rigid TLSO, and the brace should only be used as prescribed.
