The Wilmington Brace was developed in 1969 at the Alfred I. DuPont Institute after a patient refused to wear the standard bulky, cumbersome scoliosis brace her physician prescribed. The patient only agreed to a brace that was inconspicuous and easily removable, and so the Wilmington Brace was born. This brace goes onto the body similar to a tight jacket and is known as a full contact TLSO due to its lack of gaps or open spots.
The Wilmington brace uses a casting system to obtain each patient’s unique body shape. This hands on approach, uses manual application of pressure and derotation by the physician and orthotist to the patient’s torso while casting. The location and amount of pressure is based on curve magnitude, shape and flexibility. An x-ray is taken while you are in the cast to determine the amount of curve reduction and the degree of improvement of the alignment and balance.
Some of the notable innovative features of the Wilmington Brace are:
▪️Low-profile
▪️Designed to apply 3D correction
▪️Easier to put on
