Dragonfly TLSO System

Dragonfly TLSO is the first release in our TherAlign™ brand of code-verified orthotic systems. It combines ‘warm-and-form’ spinal bracing with the wearable therapy of a TheraTogs undergarment in a customized, integrated orthosis.

The Dragonfly system’s unique (and patent pending) double-wing design anchors on the pelvis to deliver optimal stability, comfort, and torso support, with minimum weight and bulk. The warm-and-form materials allow the clinician to create a truly custom truncal orthosis in minutes – and later adjustments for fit and comfort can be made with a heat gun.

The Dragonfly TLSO has been code-verified by PDAC/CMS for HCPCS code L-0456.

Promotes superior torso stability throughout the core
Dragonfly TLSO supports the spine and trunk with a lightweight, rigid panel – forming a custom spinal support anchored on the pelvis for superior torso core stability while training the neuromotor system into more functional alignment using a TheraTogs undergarment.

Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear
Provides abdominal support without restricting breathing
Facilitates long-term neuromotor improvements that address the causes of postural and spinal issues
Live-in orthotic solution that does much more than simply immobilize the spine
No complicated tightening devices
Weighs less than one pound for most adult sizes, and pediatric sizes weigh a few ounces
Customized postural support is worn discreetly, under loose clothing
How the Dragonfly TLSO works
A clinician first warms the Dragonfly brace using a low temperature (165°-180° F). Warming takes 8 – 14 minutes , depending on the heat source and the size of the Dragonfly. Meanwhile, a TheraTogs undergarment is applied to the wearer’s hips and torso, which is cozy, breathable and delivers somatosensory input, flexible stability, and attachment sites for muscle-assist strapping. Once warmed, the Dragonfly is then applied to support the spine with a lightweight but rigid panel, custom-formed to the iliac crests and upper trunk, to anchor spinal alignment support on the pelvis.
