Custom Made F.M.F Compression Brace
This is the current Gold Standard Pectus Carinatum Brace. It’s custom made for every individual patient and is the only brace designed to measure the required pressure on the deformity, using our patented pressure monitor. The monitor is used by a Consultant during the diagnosis and prescription phase, as well as during the regular check-ups to ensure the correct pressure is being used throughout treatment.
The custom brace is made to apply the required pressure that is to be exerted, and no more. Therefore, reducing any risks of soft tissue damage by high pressure or less of an effect by under pressuring.
The brace is rigid and applies pressure only at the point of the deformity.
Between 2001 & 2007 the Department of Paediatric Surgery at the Fundación Hospitalaria’s Private Children’s Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina conducted a study on the effectiveness of the FMF compression brace for treating Pectus Carinatum. The results of this study are discussed on our Scientific Studies page.

Strawberry Pectus Brace
Whilst the custom made FMF compression brace above is the gold standard for Pectus Carinatum braces, it’s is not always affordable. Combined with the fact that the NHS does not provide funding to treat Pectus Carinatum, it leaves some of the most vulnerable unable to access effective treatment for the condition. Realising that there may potentially be thousands of Children and young adults unable to access this effective treatment for pectus carinatum, Strawberry Medical developed an effective brace to help the condition, at a more accessible price point. The Strawberry Pectus Brace is the result of this work.
It’s a ready-made brace, available in six sizes. It can be used 24/7.
Systematic use will reduce pigeon chest and can help improve the cardiorespiratory system.
Due to its discreet construction, the Strawberry Pectus Brace orthosis is almost invisible under clothing, so the patient feels comfortable during use. The orthotic frame is made of high quality, extremely light 6061 T6 aluminium, which is used in the aviation industry and guarantees the best stabilization among orthoses available on the market. The frame is lined with unloading medical foam to provide protection when in contact with skin.
