Welcome to The Clinical Minute! On this episode, Clinical Education Specialist DeLana Finney, MSPO, LCPO, is joined by Sarah Glowa, CPO, and Thuasne Spinal Product Specialist, to provide an overview of the Thuasne’s SLEEQ Spinal Orthoses Collection.
Dual Zone Technology: Consistent Support in All Positions
All SLEEQ orthoses are built around Dual Zone Technology, a waist belt design engineered to maintain compression during both standing and seated activities. Dual Zone Technology is one of the most noticeable advantages of the SLEEQ line. It delivers effective, consistent compression to support offloading, pain reduction, and neutral spine alignment.
Key features include:
- A central non-elastic reinforcement strip that enhances compression and disperses pressure when seated
- Flexible material zones above and below the strip to contour to the body and reduce pressure over the rib cage and iliac crest
By maintaining compression in sitting, Dual Zone Technology helps provide:
- Improved trunk stability
- Reduced body sway
- Enhanced safety during sit-to-stand transitions
This consistent support contributes to offloading, pain management, and neutral spinal alignment.
A Scalable Portfolio for Varying Support Needs
The SLEEQ family includes three primary product categories to align with differing clinical indications:
- SLEEQ Standard – Conservative support for spinal stabilization, posture correction, and pain management, includes the AP, AP+, APL and Flex
- SLEEQ Adapt – Increased rigidity for patients requiring additional structural support, including trauma, fracture, and post-operative cases, includes Adapt 627, 631, 637, and 456
- SLEEQ MAX – A rigid TLSO providing triplanar motion restriction
This tiered structure allows clinicians to select the appropriate level of support within a unified platform.
Predictable Fit & Universal Sizing
Clinicians consistently note the predictable and repeatable fit across the SLEEQ portfolio. Universal sizing allows a single device to accommodate a wide range of body types, from petite to bariatric patients.
Fitting flexibility includes:
- Adjustable waist belts for varying anatomy, including hip development and pendulous abdomens
- Adjustable wing positioning to improve total contact
- Optional extension panels to capture additional waist circumference when needed
These features support efficient fittings and reduce the need for multiple device sizes.
Clinical Efficiency Without Compromise
By combining consistent compression, adaptable fit, and a streamlined product family, Thuasne SLEEQ spinal orthoses support both patient outcomes and clinical workflow efficiency.
