T12 and L1, where the thoracic spine meets the lumbar spine, are the levels AULEXMED names for the BL-10076, a thoracolumbar brace with an air bladder made by Xiamen Benli Medical Technology. The manufacturer says it fixes the T12 to L1 region to reduce spinal load, and lists lumbar vertebral compression fracture, thoracolumbar fracture fixation, lumbar disc herniation and postoperative protection as its indications. It appears under the catalogue's Thoracic Support Brace heading.

As photographed, a white front shell with rows of round perforations runs from the upper chest over the abdomen, edged in grey padding with straps over the shoulders and at the sides. A built-in air bladder provides adjustable support and decompression, and a rotary knob adjusts height. AULEXMED calls the design lightweight and suitable for most adult body types in a single size.

Whether it suits a given patient is a clinical decision. In a randomised trial of 96 adults with stable burst fractures between T11 and L3 and no neurological injury, outcomes with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis matched those without one. The braced group wore the orthosis for ten weeks, and both groups followed the same limits on lifting and bending. Reviews of bracing after osteoporotic vertebral fractures rate the evidence as very low certainty, so a spinal surgeon or orthotist decides whether to brace, and for how long.

The brace is listed in grey, in one size. It is available to buyers in more than 80 countries through Medigear.uk, and the enquiry team sets out stock and lead time.

Hospital spinal and orthopaedic trauma units can stock the BL-10076 for adults with stable injuries from T12 to L1 when the surgeon has chosen bracing, and orthotics departments can fit it where a one-size design with height adjustment suits the patient. Spinal surgery wards can use it within a surgeon's postoperative protocol. Emergency departments that discharge stable spinal fractures to orthopaedic follow-up can hold it where local protocols specify a thoracolumbar brace. Fracture clinics and fracture liaison services that see osteoporotic vertebral fractures can hold it for patients whose clinician judges that a brace may help with pain, with bone health treatment running alongside.

Fit and safety define who it suits. Patients with neurological symptoms, an unstable injury pattern or uncertain imaging belong with the spinal team before any brace is considered. Chest coverage can restrict breathing in people with lung disease, a front shell can mark fragile skin, and patients who cannot report pressure need daily staff skin checks. Marked kyphosis, pregnancy and trunk sizes outside the brace's adjustment range may rule out a one-size design altogether. Patients and carers need to know how to put the brace on and take it off as the team instructs, since some protocols restrict bending and lifting during wear. Older patients may need help with the straps and the height knob.

Procurement routes for NHS trusts and for public hospitals in other countries ask for a device's conformity status and registration. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Built for the thoracolumbar junction

AULEXMED designs the brace around T12 to L1, the levels where many thoracolumbar fractures occur. Its shell spans the chest and abdomen to limit movement across that junction.

Adjustable air support

The built-in air bladder lets the fitter raise or lower support without changing the brace. Pressure can be revisited as swelling settles or comfort changes, which gives the clinician a way to respond to feedback without refitting.

Height set by a rotary knob

A rotary knob adjusts height for each torso. That gives a one-size brace a way to sit correctly on patients of different builds within its range, and lets the orthotist make fine changes at review.

One size to stock

A single size simplifies stock on wards and in orthotics stores, and speeds issue when a patient is ready for discharge. Each fitting still needs the orthotist's check that the shell suits the patient.

Perforated front shell

Rows of round perforations cross the white front shell in the photograph. Shell material and any ventilation effects are points for the manufacturer's documentation.

Padded edges and straps

Grey padding lines the shell edges, with straps over the shoulders and at the sides, as shown in the photograph. Padding where the shell meets the body matters for skin protection, particularly for patients who will wear the brace for several weeks.

Lightweight design

AULEXMED describes the brace as lightweight. A comfortable brace is more likely to be worn as the surgeon intended.

A defined clinical role

Its indications tie it to diagnosed spinal injuries and postoperative care. That fits services that already image, classify and follow up spinal fractures, and gives procurement teams a clear indication list to match against local pathways.

Manufacturer records for procurement

The company's quality records include ISO 13485:2016 certification for its site and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team shares the documents that apply to the BL-10076 for procurement files.

T12 to L1 target region

The specification names the T12 to L1 region, the junction that carries load between the stiffer thoracic spine and the more mobile lumbar spine. The brace is described as fixing it to reduce spinal load.

Built-in air bladder

An air bladder sits inside the brace. Its inflation method follows the instructions for use, and pressure guidance is in the same document.

Adjustable support and decompression wording

AULEXMED describes the bladder as providing adjustable support and decompression. The page treats decompression as the manufacturer's term.

Rotary height knob

Height adjusts through a rotary knob. The setting is made at fitting and rechecked after changes, and patients leave it alone unless shown how to adjust it.

One size

The brace is listed in a single size. Fit comes from the height knob and the straps.

Most adult body types

AULEXMED describes the design as suitable for most adult body types. The fit range itself is a figure to request.

Lightweight build

The brace is described as lightweight. A unit weight can be requested at quotation.

Perforated shell

The white front shell carries rows of round holes in the photograph. It runs from the upper chest over the abdomen.

Grey edge padding

Grey padding borders the shell in the photograph. It sits where the shell meets the chest, abdomen and sides, and helps spread pressure along the shell's edge.

Shoulder straps

Straps pass over both shoulders, as shown in the photograph. They help hold the shell in position on the trunk.

Side straps

Straps at the sides close the brace around the trunk, as shown in the photograph. Their adjustment refines the fit around the height setting.

Grey colourway

The brace is listed in grey. The photographed front shell is white.

Listed indications

The sheet lists lumbar vertebral compression fracture, thoracolumbar fracture fixation, lumbar disc herniation, and postoperative protection. The answers above weigh each against guidance and evidence.

Thoracic Support Brace range

The catalogue page carries a Thoracic Support Brace heading. The BL-10076 appears under it with its indications and specifications.

Manufacturer wearing advice

AULEXMED's general advice is to open the fastenings, position the brace, close it evenly and adjust until it feels stable. It advises stopping if the brace becomes uncomfortable.

Class I range

AULEXMED describes its products as Class I medical devices. The class for the BL-10076 is recorded on its declaration of conformity.

The BL-10076 is a one-size thoracolumbar brace with a perforated front shell, a built-in air bladder, and rotary-knob height adjustment, designed for the T12 to L1 region. It is intended for spinal surgeons, orthotists, and fracture teams who have imaged the injury and chosen bracing, and it suits patients whose trunk fits within its adjustment range. Evidence for bracing varies by fracture type, from equivalent outcomes in stable burst fractures to very low certainty after osteoporotic fractures, so the clinical team decides whether and how long it is worn. Establish the torso length and circumference range, inflation method, and shell material before ordering. Medigear.uk lists the BL-10076 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for fitting staff. The declaration of conformity and instructions for use are available from the enquiry team with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

AULEXMED lists lumbar vertebral compression fracture, thoracolumbar fracture fixation, lumbar disc herniation and postoperative protection for lumbar and back injuries. In practice, a brace like this is used for diagnosed, stable injuries under specialist care, and it limits movement while the bone heals. It does not repair a fracture, and the treating surgeon or fracture team decides whether to use it.

A spinal surgeon, orthopaedic team, or orthotist decides after imaging shows the injury pattern and a neurological examination has been done. For stable burst fractures without nerve injury, a randomised trial published in The Spine Journal in 2014 found equivalent outcomes with and without an orthosis, so bracing is a judgement for each case. Unstable injuries and any neurological deficit belong with the spinal team first.

AULEXMED describes the brace as suitable for most adult body types, with height set by the rotary knob and fit refined by the straps. The torso length and circumference range comes from the manufacturer's documentation, which the enquiry team can request. An orthotist should check shell contact at the chest, abdomen and sides, because marked kyphosis, pregnancy or a trunk outside the adjustment range can rule out a one-size design.

The built-in air bladder lets the fitter change how firmly the brace bears on the trunk, and AULEXMED describes it as giving adjustable support and decompression. The page reports decompression as the manufacturer's wording, not as an established clinical effect. The instructions for use set out the inflation method, pressure guidance, and checks after each adjustment.

A rotary knob adjusts the brace's height so the shell sits correctly on each torso. The orthotist sets it at fitting and rechecks skin contact and comfort after any change. Patients should not alter the setting unless the clinician has shown them how.

AULEXMED lists postoperative protection for lumbar and back injuries. Bracing after spinal surgery follows each surgeon's protocol, including when the brace goes on, how long it is worn and when it stops. Check the skin around the wound and under the shell at every review.

A 2023 systematic review in Archives of Osteoporosis found that spinal orthoses may ease pain after vertebral fragility fractures. Still, the certainty of evidence was very low and clinical judgement was advised. An earlier 2016 review reported complications most often with rigid orthoses. Any patient with an osteoporotic fracture also needs bone health assessment, which fracture liaison services provide in many areas.

AULEXMED lists lumbar disc herniation, but NICE guideline NG59 advises against offering belts or corsets for low back pain with or without sciatica. A disc problem without a fracture is managed through that pathway, and a thoracolumbar brace for a disc would need specialist justification. New numbness or weakness in both legs, or loss of bladder or bowel control, needs emergency care.

Staff should check the skin under the shell, the padding, and the straps daily for redness, marks, or soreness, especially over the ribs, hips, and spine. Breathing should stay comfortable, and abdominal discomfort or new tingling means the fit needs review. Patients who cannot feel or report pressure need staff or carers to do these checks.

The care label supplied with the brace sets the method. AULEXMED's general guidance is to close fasteners before cleaning and to keep rigid or mechanical components, including the knob and the air bladder, away from heat and moisture. The brace is issued to one patient.

Spinal orthoses of this type are usually Class I devices under UK MDR 2002, and the declaration of conformity issued by the manufacturer, which the enquiry team shares, gives the class for the BL-10076. Great Britain continues to accept CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements, and the MHRA consulted in 2026 on recognising them indefinitely. MHRA registration is required before supply in Great Britain, through a UK Responsible Person when the manufacturer is based outside the UK. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's documentation for the country the unit is going to.

Xiamen Benli Medical Technology Co., Ltd makes it in Xiamen, China, under the AULEXMED name. The company lists ISO 13485:2016 certification for its manufacturing site, FDA establishment registration with device listings and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. It also holds an ISO 10993-23 skin-irritation report for a mapped material, and the documentation request should ask which records cover this brace.
