The LumbAIR “position sensitive” (PS) joins Backfitpro’s family of back supports to reduce pain when sitting and laying. The PS assists recovery by reducing stress on the scar site of the post surgical patient, and supporting a faster desensitization of pain.

Many people enjoy the pain relief provided by the LumbAIR when sitting. Some who have had spine surgery, or who have a specific region of pain sensitivity, have requested us to redesign the LumbAIR to remove pressure from the sensitive scar site. The solution is the new “LumbAIR PS” where the inflatable support was re-designed to take pressure from the midline of the back. After several prototypes and trials with patients we are able to offer this proven solution.

Using the LumbAIR

Place the LumbAIR in your low back. Begin by placing the bottom of the support at the top of your “crack” (“Gluteal fold” in medical terms). Then adjust the support a few centimetres up and down to optimize comfort. Now adjust the amount of support with the inflation bulb adding and subtracting air until optimal comfort is achieved.
