Rib flaring treatment
Correct rib flaring with our custom slimline braceImprove the appearance of your ribcage with our custom brace. We’re proud to have pioneered this treatment in the UK since 2010 and have achieved outstanding results for our patients.
Rib flaring is when the ribs stick outward and change the shape of the chest. It is very often associated with pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.
While not all cases of rib flare require treatment, especially if they are not causing any symptoms or functional limitations, we understand that how you look can have a big impact on how you feel.
Treatment
We’ve pioneered the use of the rib flaring brace in the UK, based on the success of our non-surgical chest bracing treatment for pectus carinatum. We designed a specific rib flaring brace that applies pressure to the lower edge of the rib cage and gently moves them back into a corrective position over time.
This bespoke brace uses corrective foam pads designed to fit over the ribs according to the patient’s measurements.
Slimline rib flaring brace
Fix flared ribs without surgery-
Slim, low-profile design
A discreet, streamlined fit makes the brace less noticeable under clothing. Making it easier to wear and helping you feel more confident during treatment.
-
Lightweight and comfortable
Our new design uses lighter-weight aluminium bars, making it easier to wear, carry about, and integrate into your daily life.
-
Easy to take on and off
Fabric straps make it easy to put the brace on and take it off quickly and by yourself.
-
Adjustable fastening system
The new fastening system allows you to tighten the brace more easily should you wish. This allows you to increase or decrease the pressure depending on your comfort levels.
-
Removable 3D-printed foam pads
The brace’s soft, removable foam pads are easy to clean and swap out during treatment. This means we can increase the pressure points and optimise the brace as your chest shape responds to treatment.
