Therapeutic Benefits The use of orthopaedic bandages and sport supports in the treatment of muscle, ligament and joint strains and the management of long-term chronic conditions is widely recognised throughout sports medicine. By stimulating the vasodilatation of blood vessels and improving blood flow to the affected area, Stomatex® based materials provide significant advantages over traditional Neoprene-based elasticated supports. Unlike traditional bandages and supports, Nexus supports made from Stomatex® can simultaneously expel excess perspiration, deliver self-regulated therapeutic heat and optimum compressive support to the injury, allowing them to be worn for extended periods of time. Aids sports injuries: Back pain Chronic, Long-term injuries, Chronic degenerative conditions, Splints. Design Benefits Due to the wide area that the Nexus Lumbar belt supports, it provides relief from discomfort to numerous lower back pain conditions. Unlike many other support belts, the Nexus Lumbar belt is made from a fully breathable Neoprene material (Stomatex.) This allows the body temperature to remain more constant during exercise and rest and eliminates heat build up and the irritation from sweat and moisture retention. The belt uses a velcro compatable version of Stomatex to eliminate the need for large areas of velcro loops that reduce the elastic properties of most neoprene belts. Its lightweight design and breathable soft fabric allow the belt to be worn for far greater periods of time than traditional neoprene belts without any discomfort. The simple fold over securing system allows the user to tension the belt to give them the precise level of support to target key points of discomfort. The belt is fully washable and can be worn under or over clothing (man made fibres must be sued to allow the belt to breath when worn outside of clothing.) The Nexus Lumbar Support belt comes in one size to suit hips sizes from 60 cm to 130cm. belt dimensions 11ocm x 15cm with soft cotton lining. What is Stomatex? Stomatex® is the patented physics that replicates the way that the leaves of plants transpire. Stomatex Neoprene is a high-performance fabric made from a lightweight, ultra-thin, non-porous polyester membrane that is weatherproof and highly breathable. It is currently produced in Stomatex Neoprene, although further advanced polymer foam technologies are under development. Neoprene (a synthetic rubber) demonstrates superior tensile strength and elasticity, offering significant advantages over plastic foam materials and making Stomatex® ideal for close contour applications where body movement must remain unhindered. How does it work? Stomatex® uses a pattern of dome-shaped vapour chambers, each with a tiny pore in the centre. While resting, excess body heat and perspiration rise into the dome-shaped chambers and exit through the tiny pores at a controlled rate. The chambers flex and stretch with each movement of the body, causing excess heat and perspiration to be pumped out of the small pores. This also allows cooler, drier air to enter from the outside. The unique pumping action of the vapour chambers increases and decreases with the user's level of physical activity. Stomatex® is truly unique, as it is the only material that can maintain a perfect microclimate between the skin and the fabric at any level of physical activity, allowing it to be worn for long periods of time without overheating. What is Stomatex made from? Stomatex® is generally made from thermo-insulating closed-cell foam materials such as Neoprene. It is used in the manufacture of garments and appliances where warmth and/or support may be a deciding factor but where comfort may be compromised by the unacceptable build-up of heat and perspiration in traditional closed-cell foam materials What are the benefits of Stomatex? By imitating the process of transpiration used by leaves, Stomatex® is able to overcome the problems of perspiration and over-heating traditionally associated with the use of closed cell foam materials such as Neoprene. It can therefore ensure that the body heat, blood flow and compression remain consistent during a wide range of activities. Reflecting the rate of physical activity, the chambers create a self-contained microclimate, allowing cooler, drier air to pass through at a controlled rate to keep the skin free of perspiration and maintain an ideal skin temperature over an extended period of time What are Stomatex’s advantages over ventilated Neoprene? Neoprene which has holes punched through it has been employed in many applications over the years, primarily because until now there has not been a better alternative. While it has advantages over traditional Neoprene in certain circumstances, the size and formation of the holes significantly reduce the insulation value resulting in condensation of sweat and cooling of the skin. It also causes significant changes in the material's compressive Material Applications Thermal Protection Extreme weather sports and expeditions demand high performance clothing that is lightweight, rugged and comfortable. As well as providing freedom of movement, insulation and protection against extreme cold weather conditions. By exploiting the superb thermal insulating material qualities of Neoprene and counteracting the discomfort traditionally caused by sweat and overheating, Stomatex® manages the body's natural moisture, regulates optimum temperature and provides protection from severe wind, rain, sleet and snow Active Lifestyle By balancing thermal comfort and water protection during extended periods of strenuous physical activity, Stomatex® responds to the individual needs of the wearer by regulating temperature control and absorbing, storing and releasing excess body heat and perspiration as required. And for those operating in adverse and extreme wet environments including full immersion, Stomatex® offers unparalleled performance, working as hard as you to provide the necessary standards of insulation, water-resistance, safety and comfort. Sport and Recreation The unique strength, flexibility and insulation of Neoprene make Stomatex® an ideal component in the design and manufacture of contour garments and apparel where close fit and efficient thermal insulation is essential. It is used in water sports as a full wetsuit, balancing heat retention by creating a thermal underwear comfort zone within the suit which prevents overheating when out of the water and keeping the wearer warm when immersed. Stomatex® is widely used in acclimatization suits, allowing athletes to prepare efficiently and comfortably in hot and humid climates. These suits provide artificial physiological conditions to promote improved cardio-vascular activity and consequent improved conditioning of the athlete. Healthcare If not monitored effectively, long-term patient care can be seriously compromised through the tissue damage caused by compression during long periods of inactivity. Stomatex® can be used in seating and bedding to reduce the discomfort often experienced by those who are incapacitated whether in a bed or wheelchair. The unique design and physical properties of Stomatex® can promote improved blood circulation, while allowing excess perspiration to be removed and keeping pressure against the patient’s skin at a level below capillary occlusion. This helps to prevent the formation of bedsores, accelerates the healing of existing wounds and allows care to be provided without the need to sacrifice one therapy for another. Research & Development A number of other areas and uses are currently under development or being researched by Nexus Europe Ltd. These include: A fitness suit which carries in-built adjustable weights to replicate the principles of resistance training for the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. A range of magnetotherapy shoe insoles. A coat to keep pigs protected and comfortable in adverse weather conditions. Research into integration of magnets to aid blood flow in the body where the belts is worn.

Order now while stocks last how sacroiliac and lumbar pain are linked Lumbar Pain or Sacroiliac Pain. Which came first? That`s the chicken-or-the-egg question which faces back specialists every day. The lowest disc, facet jointsand the sacroiliac joints are very close together, and share many muscles, ligaments, and, importantly, nerves. It can be very difficult to identify just where most of the pain is coming from, and this is still the subject of debate. (a) if the pelvis becomes distorted, due to a fall or postural stress, the “foundation” of the spine can become tilted. The spine has to compensate, in order for the upper body to be carried upright. Clearly, some of the lumbar muscles have to do extra work, and some of the joints have to take extra loading. The result is extra wear & tear. Sooner or later something has to give. Although an attack of back pain may occur suddenly, for no apparent reason, usually there have been minor niggles or aches for some time. (b) on the other hand, a minor twist or sprain in the lumbar spine can also go little noticed for a long time. However, irritation in the strained muscles or sprained joints can cause a reflex contraction of major pelvic muscles (e.g. the gluteus maximus). The result is a distortion of the pelvis (as above) adding another stress to the lumbar spine. In the long term, these stresses can cause torsion & weakening of the lumbar discs, and this mechanism is thought to be one of the main causes of disc degeneration, with resultant sciatic pain. Whichever came first, the lumbar problem or the sacroiliac, the important thing is to get your back and pelvis lined up correctly and working properly as soon as possible. Left for a long time full recovery becomes less and less likely…...that`s a fact all experts agree on. Low back pain can be a vicious circle. Pain leads to immobility, frustration, and decreased fitness...which all tends to make things worse. Using an SI support can help with getting back to walking and gentle exercise, which in turn improves local circulation which then helps with the repair process. Q. “Won`t wearing a belt make me dependent on it. And lead to muscles wasting?”A. Just the opposite. When muscles spasm around a joint (splinting) they quickly fatigue and decondition. (rather like us if we overwork and never take a break). Supporting the muscles and ligaments allows them a chance to recover before fibrosis or further injury can take place. Sacroiliac Syndrome ... involved in up to 90% of cases of lower back pain A typical pattern of sacroiliac pain…. but this varies from day to day & person to person.Although back pain has a number of causes, experts from all professions agree that the SACROILIAC JOINTS (SIJ`s) of the pelvis are involved in many cases. Sacroiliac pain tends to be low down, often more to one side, and often extends into the buttock, the back of the thigh and sometimes the calf. It can start suddenly, but tends to persist as a dull ache, on & off, often with a feeling of pins & needles in the buttock. Unless correctly diagnosed and treated, this can continue for many years, eventually leading to further problems. Research shows the sacroiliac joints to be involved in up to 90% of cases of low back pain. Many people have asked why the SI joints are so prone to giving trouble. Several authorities point to the transition from quadruped to biped, where there appears to be an evolutionary weakness. In the quadruped, most weight is taken on the front legs, e.g. in the horse the distribution is about 65:35 front to hind. Thus the quadruped sacroiliac joint takes a good deal less than half the animals weight. In man the sacroiliac joint takes 100%. Another important consideration is the change in angulation from the horizontal to the vertical. In the horse, the main iliac bones of the pelvis act as pylons with the sacrum and spine suspended underneath by massive ligaments. In man, the sacrum is partly held by ligaments but mainly by contraction of the pelvic girdle muscles. “force closure” These resist the massive shearing forces generated across the SI joints. If the pelvic muscles become strained, they tend to go into a spasm around the SI joints giving a painful“locked” or “fixed” joint. Over a long period of time, the muscles weaken, the ligaments around the jointstretch and the joint becomes sprained, with too much movement: “hypermobile”. Breaking the sprain /strain cycle Often sufferers will get relief from visiting their physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor, only for the problem to return after a day or two. Its frustrating for both patients and clinician. It’s a fact agreed by all health professions that in chronic back pain, the tissues overwork and decondition, leading to an inability to cope with the stresses of everyday life. This is where a helping hand can be invaluable. When given gentle, reliable support, muscles and ligaments get a chance to repair and strengthen enough to cope on their own. The Nexus SI belt takes the strain off the postural muscles and ligaments while they rehabilitate, helping work towards a long term solution. Visit - ORTHOPAEDIC_SOLUTIONS - CLICK HERE!
