MedSpec Back-N-Black Low Profile Lumbar Support – Discreet, Lightweight Back Brace for Lumbar Stability
The MedSpec Back-N-Black Low Profile Lumbar Support offers the same dependable stabilization and compression as the original Back-N-Black, but in a slimmer, lightweight design. With reduced anterior and posterior heights, this brace provides comfortable lumbar support that easily fits under clothing, and is ideal for patients of a shorter stature or those looking for a lower profile, more discrete brace.
