Vive Broken Rib Brace for Women, Men - Rib Cage Support Belt for Fractured, Cracked, Broken or Bruised Ribs - Post Surgery Compression Garment Wrap - Diastasis Recti Belly Band

Never one to accept defeat, I've tried at least ten back support braces from every major and ino manufacturer. They all utilize similar technology, back/rib stays, velcro and some type of breathable webbing. But, these types have all fallen short in being too short, or too long, or unable to adjust exactly to my bodies unique dimensions and, to where the support is needed most. They are also most often too cumbersome, or stiff, or heavy or not flexible enough. Straining to keep them tight and then having to release them to breathe! Thought I'd give this VIVE HEALTH Rib Brace a try. Surpisingly, it is very thoughtfully engineered to provide firm elastic support that does not impinge upon your neck, shoulders, underarms or ribs, in any way, as the other belts do! It is wide enough (5 to 6 inches) to adequately cover your thoracic rib cage or lumbar spine while allowing you to move freely. Most importantly, its made from a unique material that is smooth, like a wet suit, on the inner side. With the outer facing material made of a tight cropped weave that lets you place its velcro fastener at any width along the entire belt. Enabling you infinite adjustment, no matter your size so that you can customize its fit throughout the day or night, after eating, or as you see fit to. The Velcro fastener actually has a hand loop spread across the width of the belt that gives you maximum control allowing you to easily pull it tight to fit around your torso. What a revelation! In my first day of wearing it, he eased the pain and stiffness in my rib cage tremendously. So much, that I was able to go to the gym and take some bball shots, where I had been unable to do so for quite some time. Hooray for Vive. They actually include a note thanking you for letting them be a part of your Healing Journey! Indeed, what a wonderful product and company!

Nice fit around my ribs to help with healing after a fall . Good quality and size and comfortable to wear . Durable and adjustable makes this a great rub support .

This was very easy to put on myself. The loops for your thumb and hands makes it easy to adjust the fit. It definitely added some stability to my rubs when sleeping, I am in way less pain in the mornings.

The Rib Brace was for my husband. He has been in pain since an accident 3 years ago. The Brace helped with the pain and he felt better. It was a good choice.

Does exactly what I hoped it would. Gives ribs that support you need for either a dislocated rib or even a broken rib . Doctors can’t do much about a rib. But this little rib support definitely helps with the discomfort of a problem with the rib.

My doctor prescribed that I use something like this to wrap my bruised ribs. At the same time, he prescribed me some pain medicine. After just one night of wearing this to bed, I don't need pain meds since this was the magic pill all by itself. Easy to put on. Certainly, decent quality and at a reasonable price.

This is really great. I love the hand and thumb loop to easily tighten the strap. I have a fractured rib or possibly very bruised rib and this helps tremendously on putting stability and pressure on the rib cage to stop the constant pain, elevate pain while moving, and keep me positioned correctly while moving about. Very much recommend!
