Description
Overview
The BraceAbility Rib Brace is an elastic compression wrap that goes around the lower rib cage, just below the chest. It is made from two 3-inch-wide elastic panels, 6 inches tall in total, with a fastener closure that sets the tightness; the elastic is latex-free. BraceAbility describes it as thin and low-profile enough to wear under clothing.
This listing is the Universal Female style in white, which BraceAbility shapes to contour underneath the chest and which fits a chest circumference of 24 to 55 inches, measured at the bottom of the sternum, under the breast. The maker sells a Universal Male style (24–55 in) and a Plus Size style (60–75 in) separately, each also in white or gray. To put it on, the wrap is passed around the back at the level of the lower ribs, one end is held against the ribs and the other is stretched over it and fastened. Care is hand washing in warm water with mild soap and air drying.

- Ask a doctor before wearing the wrap while sleeping or during exercise (the maker’s advice).
- Hand wash only, and let it dry fully before wearing it again.
