Orthopedics: relieving musculoskeletal disorders and lower back pain

619 MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER FROM LOW BACK PAIN(1)

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect joints, muscles, and tendons from the spine to the extremities. They result from an imbalance between the body's physical capacities and the stresses and strains to which it is exposed. More specifically, the back involves anatomical structures as varied as vertebrae, discs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

Whether for immobilization after trauma or support for resuming activity, Thuasne® accompanies patients throughout their care pathway to help them regain mobility and relieve pain. To this end, the Group offers a wide range of orthotic devices: lumbar belts, knee braces, ankle braces, cervical collars, etc.

Phlebology: healing venous insufficiency by compression

4 OUT OF 10 WOMEN ARE AFFECTED BY CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY(2)

Venous insufficiency results from dysfunction of the veins and manifests itself as insufficient blood return to the heart. This condition causes signs of increasing severity (heavy legs, varicose veins, ulcers, phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, etc.).

In response to this condition, Thuasne® offers medical compression solutions – better known as compression garments – with the Venoflex range and Biflex bandages.

Lymphology: reducing edema and promoting maintenance

APPROXIMATELY 250 MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER FROM LYMPHEDEMA(3)

Lymphedema is a chronic disease due to malfunction of the lymphatic system. It manifests itself as swelling in a limb or organ. This condition leads to swelling, functional discomfort, feelings of heaviness and reduced mobility.

To alleviate symptoms and sustainably improve patients’ quality of life, Thuasne® innovates with solutions adapted to each stage of care. Biflex bandages, Lymphatrex and Mobiderm garments are designed to help rapidly reduce edema and optimize the maintenance phase.

Breast cancer: supporting surgical follow-up

2.3 MILLION NEW CASES OF BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSED IN 2022(4)

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer, affecting millions of women every year. The aftermath of breast surgery requires appropriate care, including scar management, lymphedema prevention and rehabilitation.

To help women regain their femininity and quality of life, Thuasne® offers a comprehensive range of postoperative solutions. These include compression garments for healing, external breast prostheses, as well as lingerie and swimwear.
