The LA Pectus Brace Treatment Program

The LA Pectus Brace was specifically designed to optimize the effective of Pectus bracing in a low profile design that children will not mind wearing. Other Pectus braces are typically bulky and/or overly clinical looking and children are usually resistant to wearing them. The LA Pectus brace is predominenty plastic, is lighter and is less bulky.
Each LA Pectus Brace is custom made according to the users dimensions and the type of PC deformity present.

The LA Brace Technique involves four phases of treatment:

Phase 1

Remodeling of chest. The deformity is gradually reduced and the brace is continually tightened to accommodate the reduction in the size of the deformity.

Phase 2

The “Setting” phase where we hold the correction full-time until the chest can maintain the revised shape.

Phase 3

The “Weaning” phase where by we gradually reduce the time wearing the brace.

Phase 4

The “Retainer” phase whereby we continue using the brace at night only to prevent recurrence of the deformity.
