AULEXMED BL-22076

Inpatient spinal rehabilitation units can use the BL-22076, where a spinal team chooses bracing, adjusts bladder pressure, and adjusts plate angles as patients progress. Neurosurgical and orthopaedic wards can begin the plan before discharge, setting initial pressures while the patient is still under daily review. Orthotic clinics that see patients at intervals after a spinal fracture or operation can use each review to change the settings. Community rehabilitation and early supported discharge teams can carry the plan into the home, with the patient or carer taught which adjustments they may make and which belong to the clinician. Physiotherapists working with these teams can time exercise progressions to the brace reviews, so the settings and the rehabilitation programme move together.

The limits are clinical. Unstable injuries, neurological symptoms and uncertain imaging go to the spinal team first, and a rigid shell over the chest can restrict breathing and mark fragile skin, so checks continue at every stage. Evidence for bracing differs by fracture type, from equivalent outcomes in stable burst fractures to very low certainty after osteoporotic fractures. Each patient's notes should carry the agreed pressures, plate positions and planned stopping point. Pump use at home is safest when the patient or carer has shown the clinician they can add and release air correctly.

Public purchasing, whether by NHS trusts or by hospital systems elsewhere, runs through procurement routes that ask for a device's conformity status and registration. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Staged compression from two bladders

The manufacturer's dual system lets you set the upper and lower air bladders separately. That lets the team shape compression to the injury and adjust it as recovery progresses.

Pressure control at front and back

Front and rear adjustable angle plates are described as giving easy pressure control. They give the orthotist a second way to fine-tune the fit beyond the bladders, and to relieve a pressure point without deflating the whole brace.

Settings that follow rehabilitation

AULEXMED describes the bladder system as suitable for different rehabilitation stages. One brace can follow a patient from early protected movement to later, more active weeks, so the patient need not change braces mid-recovery.

Manual inflation

The photograph shows a hand pump on a tube. Hand inflation means pressure can be adjusted at the bedside or at home without power, and it requires no electrical charging or service.

Ventilation built in

The manufacturer lists 3D mesh padding, multiple vent holes and a breathable liner. Together, they are meant to keep the brace ventilated and comfortable during long wear.

Rigid support

AULEXMED describes the support as rigid. A rigid shell limits trunk movement firmly, which is why the spinal team decides when it is needed.

Padded edges and shoulders

Dark blue padding edges the shell, and padded pieces sit over the shoulders, as shown in the photo. Padding where the shell meets the body helps protect the skin, particularly over the shoulders and around the lower edge.

One size to stock

A single size keeps stock simple for wards and orthotic stores, with one product code on the shelf. Each fitting still needs the orthotist's check of shell contact and comfort.

Records for procurement

The company states ISO 13485:2016 certification for its site and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team shares copies related to BL-22076, so procurement files contain model-specific documents.

Front and rear angle plates

Adjustable angle plates sit at the brace's front and rear. The specification links them to enable easy pressure control.

Upper air bladder

The upper bladder forms half of the dual system. Its pressure is set separately from the lower bladder.

Lower air bladder

The lower bladder completes the dual system. Adjust it for the stage of rehabilitation.

Adaptive compression

AULEXMED describes the bladder system as giving adaptive compression support. The instructions for use include pressure guidance.

Hand pump and tube

A black hand pump on a white tube appears in the photograph. Whether it is supplied with each brace is a point to include in the quotation.

3D mesh padding

According to the manufacturer, mesh padding lines the brace for comfort and ventilation. It sits between the shell and the body, and y.

Multiple vent holes

The white shell carries rows of vent holes in the photograph. The specification lists them as part of the ventilation design.

Breathable liner

The specification lists a breathable liner alongside the mesh padding. It is described as keeping the brace comfortable, and the care label should state whether it can be removed for washing.

Raised chest pad

The front shell rises to a pad on the upper chest in the photograph. It sits near the breastbone, so the orthotist checks its contact at fitting and at each review.

Side straps with buckles

Black side straps with buckles close the brace around the trunk, as shown in the photograph. They work with the plates and bladders to set the fit.

Padded shoulder pieces

Padded pieces sit over both shoulders in the photograph. They help hold the upper shell in position.

White colourway

The brace is listed in white. The photograph shows dark blue edging and black straps.

One size

The brace is listed in a single size. Fit comes from the plates, straps and bladder pressure, and the trunk dimensions it fits are a point for the manufacturer's documentation.

Listed indications

Lumbar vertebral compression fracture, thoracolumbar fracture fixation, lumbar disc herniation and postoperative or post-injury rehabilitation are named on the sheet. The answers above set them against evidence and guidance.

Thoracic Support Brace range

The catalogue page carries the Thoracic Support Brace heading. The BL-22076 appears there with its indications and specifications.

Class I range

AULEXMED presents its products as Class I medical devices. The class for the BL-22076 is listed in its declaration of conformity.

The BL-22076 is a rigid white thoracolumbar brace with upper and lower air bladders and front and rear angle plates that let a spinal team adjust its hold as rehabilitation progresses. It belongs with spinal surgeons, orthotists, and rehabilitation teams who have chosen bracing, set the initial pressures, and planned the reviews. Evidence for bracing varies by fracture type, and rigid shells carry a higher complication risk, so skin and breathing checks continue at every stage. Please confirm the trunk dimensions, whether the hand pump is supplied, and the pressure guidance before ordering. Medigear.uk lists the BL-22076 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for fitting staff. The enquiry team provides documentation, including the declaration of conformity and the instructions for use.
