Abstract
A surgical corset including a shoulder section to be applied to the shoulders and having shoulder bands, a waist section to be applied to the waist, of which both the side margins are extended forwards to form supporting portions; a back section to be applied to the back and connecting the shoulder section and the waist section. A plurality of fasteners on both sides of the outer surface of the back section are spaced at a distance corresponding respectively to an aliquot of the whole length of the back section. Elastic straps are removably mounted along and on the back section by adjacent ones of the fastening members. This provides a surgical corset which is more conventionally and comfortably worn due to its elastic structure.
