Fitting the Panther TLSL

The Panther Spinal Brace is an orthopedic back 

brace that provides abdominal compression 

while restricting motion and supporting spinal 

alignment. 

Its design is simple yet sophisticated; simple 

because of the patented method of setting the 

size and sophisticated because of the space 

age materials, like the mesh fabric that provides 

cool comfort, or the light yet strong polymer 

that provides support. 

Fitting the Panther is a snap. Just add or remove 

belt segments and adjust the string length.

Throughout this guide, the term “Build” refers to 

the  configuration  of  belts  and  belt  segments. 

When reviewing the Panther Build Chart (Page 

4) the Brace Illustration Column shows how each 

assembled Build will look. 

Note: The Panther is shipped assembled as Build 

B because it fits over 50% of patients, so half the 

time you wont need to alter the Build.
