Revolutionizing Maternity Care with the Popple LSO
In a groundbreaking move, Aspen Medical Products has launched the Popple LSO, a pioneering lower spine brace specifically designed for pregnant women suffering from back pain. According to research published in the journal
Spine, between 50% to 80% of expectant mothers experience low back pain at some stage during their pregnancy, with roughly one-third recognizing it as a significant concern. Despite its prevalence, the available treatments have been insufficient, often limited to ineffective physical therapies or basic elastic bands purchased at local stores.
With input from leading OB/GYN experts Dr. Tony Shibley and Dr. Caroline Haakenson, alongside orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Thomas Kula, the Popple LSO responds to the critical need for a solution tailored to the unique anatomical requirements and biomechanical stresses experienced during pregnancy. Early studies indicate that the Popple LSO is a safe and effective option for managing back and pelvic pain in pregnant women, showing impressive results such as a 68% to 70% reduction in self-reported pain and a 60% improvement in functional disability.
Dr. Shibley, a notable figure in the field, emphasizes that the Popple LSO offers a significant advancement in maternity care. He points to its effectiveness in stabilizing the pelvis and supporting the lumbar region, which is crucial as the body undergoes various physiological changes during pregnancy. Dr. Kula echoes these sentiments, highlighting that the brace serves as a thoughtful and evidence-based means of addressing the common challenges faced by mothers-to-be.
The innovation of the Popple LSO lies in its patented TriTrack™ compression system, which not only stabilizes the lumbar spine but also assists in lifting the abdomen to improve posture and pelvic alignment. By providing structured support, this brace allows for natural fetal movement, ensuring comfort and safety for both mother and baby.
Dr. Shibley points out that maintaining an active lifestyle during pregnancy significantly enhances overall health, mental well-being, and delivery outcomes. Recognizing the physiological shifts that pregnant individuals experience, the Popple LSO delivers the comfort and stability essential for staying mobile and empowered. This brace serves not only during pregnancy but can also be utilized postpartum to assist in the healing process.
Aspen Medical Products remains committed to being at the forefront of the industry, providing innovative and clinically relevant solutions for patients. Chief Executive Officer Jim Cloar expressed pride in the company’s ability to introduce the Popple LSO to a demographic that has historically been underserved. By merging clinical insight with cutting-edge design, Aspen aims to redefine what maternity care can look like moving forward.
