OverviewPectus Excavatum is a structural deformity characterized by posterior displacement of the sternum resulting in a sunken anterior chest wall. The Vacuum Chest Orthosis is a non‑surgical device designed to apply controlled negative pressure to the anterior chest to assist external remodeling over time.
FunctionThe orthosis creates a regulated vacuum over the target area to exert outward traction on the sternum and adjacent cartilages. Regular, properly supervised application can support progressive correction and symptomatic improvement.
Design and UsageThe device features a contoured vacuum cup and an adjustable manual pump that allow clinicians or patients to set the vacuum level according to tolerance and therapeutic prescription. The form factor is intended to follow thoracic contours for stable positioning during use. Usage protocols should follow clinician guidance and monitoring.
