Re: Brace Yourself for this Question!

Hi Stacee

I'm in Pickering. Have you had a look at the Knit Rite Torso Interface shirts in

coolmax and X-Static. No seams, long, body hugging and super-stretchy. Expensive

up here but I can get them much cheaper in Erie, PA where my son gets his

casting done.

Best regards,

Curtis Okazaki.

currently...What is the best style of shirt for under the brace. Cole is 4

years old, and is extremely tall for his age. We tried a tank top, but he had

some redness under his arm. We have also noticed that if it is the slightest

bit big it affects his skin. Has anyone found something wonderful that has

worked to keep their child comfortable during bracing. I live in Toronto, and

would love any suggestions you have!!

Hi Stacee,I am in Windsor and we use the knit rite shirt that Curtis mentioned. There is a tank top version and a mock neck version. Kylies new Ortho guy who made her brace seems to be able to get them cheaper than the place in London where we ordered from. I can ask how much they are.

We have only used the knit rite shirts for casting. I plan to use them under brace when we get there. They are about $45 dollars to get them from out local orthotics supply store. I'm in Indiana. Sometimes people on here have some they don't need anymore. Good luck!!

Most of us have found that the knit rite anti microbial shirt worked

best:) Please request from your orthotist as they have direct contact

with the vendor.

My child is in a brace and we use the knit-rite 'cool-max' torso interface shirts. They are beige in color but are similar to the gray knit-rite shirts used in casting. However these have a material that wicks away moisture - my child requests the beige one over the gray shirt. (The gray has silver in it which provides anti-microbial properties, something you need for extended cast wear.) They are seamless and fit snugly so you don't get ripples that cause red marks. I believe they also can have an under the arm flap if needed to deal with rubbing. You should ask the people who you got the brace from about ordering, as you can only get these through a medical facility - Knit-rite doesn't sale direct to the public.From: heather@... <heather@...>Subject: Re: "Brace" Yourself for this Question!infantile scoliosis treatment Date: Monday, July 30, 2012, 8:31 PM
