Rib flaring is when the ribs stick outward and change the shape of the chest. It is very often associated with pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.

While not all cases of rib flare require treatment, especially if they are not causing any symptoms or functional limitations, we understand that how you look can have a big impact on how you feel.

Treatment

We’ve pioneered the use of the rib flaring brace in the UK, based on the success of our non-surgical chest bracing treatment for pectus carinatum. We designed a specific rib flaring brace that applies pressure to the lower edge of the rib cage and gently moves them back into a corrective position over time.

This bespoke brace uses corrective foam pads designed to fit over the ribs according to the patient’s measurements.

We’re committed to providing care that feels comfortable and personalised. Patients can choose to have a female or male clinician for their rib flaring treatment if they prefer.

Slimline rib flaring brace

A discreet, non-surgical option for managing rib flaring
  • Slim, low-profile design

    The slim, low-profile design sits more discreetly under clothing, making it easier to wear throughout the day.

  • Lightweight and comfortable

    Our new design uses lighter-weight aluminium bars, making it easier to wear, carry about, and integrate into your daily life.

  • Easy to use

    Fabric straps allow you to put the brace on and take it off independently.

  • Adjustable fit

    The fastening system allows us to adjust the brace to suit your comfort levels and treatment plan.

  • Removable 3D-printed foam pads

    Soft, removable foam pads can be cleaned and replaced during treatment. This also allows adjustments to be made over time as part of your programme.
