Abstract: This new device, named BetterBinder, encircles the back and belly, conforms easily and well to the appropriate section of the body and therefore can support the abdomen or stabilize the spine and pelvis. It can function as a supportive abdominal binder after abdominal surgery, during pregnancy and after childbirth. Better Binder can serve as a restrictor of motion in the ribs, lumbar or thoracic spine, pelvis and sacroiliac joints. Its “sideways letter H” shaped design can be constructed advantageously with a cool breathable non-slip laminated urethane fabric which rests firmly on the skin that it is placed on, such as Fabrifoam., U.S. Pat. No. 5,036,838. This fabric is strong and soft with limited longitudinal stretch. BetterBinder could also be made with soft, strong suitable, more conventional elastic. The outer surface of the fabric must be Velcro compatible.
