Description
Fabric Hip Spica | Gentle Support for Post-Surgery & Fragile Patients
The Fabric Hip Spica is a lightweight, supportive hip brace designed to provide effective stabilisation and protection of the hip joint. This soft hip orthosis is carefully constructed from Velfoam material with an elastic pelvic section and thigh wrap, ensuring comfort, breathability, and gentle compression while conforming to the natural shape of the body.
The brace features reinforced T-bar leatherette pockets containing eight removable, malleable aluminium stays. These stays aid in controlling abduction and adduction movements, while the touch-and-close fastenings make the spica simple to apply and remove. This wrap-around design ensures quick fitting, even for patients with reduced mobility, while maintaining a secure and supportive hold.
The Velfoam construction offers a protective cushioning system that is both substantial and lightweight, while the elastic properties of the pelvic section and thigh wrap provide gentle compression, stability, and reassurance. Combined, these materials make the Fabric Hip Spica comfortable to wear for extended periods, even for frail patients who cannot tolerate a more rigid orthosis.
The Fabric Hip Spica is an excellent choice for fragile patients who cannot tolerate a more substantial hip orthosis, offering a perfect balance of gentle support and effective protection. It is ideal for use post-surgery, as it assists rehabilitation and protects the hip from further injury while still allowing for functional mobility. The brace is particularly useful as a transitional support following the removal of a more rigid hip orthosis, like a Newport Hip brace, or as a pre-operative support. With its removable stays, the brace can be customised to meet the patient’s specific needs, providing targeted support exactly where it is required most.
This flexible and adjustable alternative to rigid immobilisation supports the hip during recovery from conditions such as hip dislocation, labral injuries, osteoarthritis, Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) or general hip instability. It also helps to reduce pain and swelling, supports circulation, and creates a safe environment for healing.
Practical in design, the Fabric Hip Spica can be hand-washed and air-dried (with stays removed), ensuring long-lasting use. Its skin-friendly, permeable fabric makes it comfortable to wear, while the hook-and-loop closure system guarantees a secure and adjustable fit.
The Fabric Hip Spica is a proven solution for patients who require hip stability, gentle compression, and controlled movement, offering the reassurance of protection without the restriction of a rigid orthosis.

Hip Instability: Provides support for general hip instability, hip dislocation, and subluxation. -
