A non-surgical treatment used regularly at home that aims to gently lift the breastbone with external negative pressure in mild to moderate, flexible funnel chest.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Suitability Measured First

Depth of the depression and chest flexibility are assessed; response is observed with a trial application at examination.

Supervised Use at Home

Fitting the device and setting the pressure are taught hands-on to patient and family; wearing time increases gradually.

Regular Measurement & Follow-up

Correction is measured at follow-up visits; skin condition and the wearing schedule are readjusted as needed.

After you return home, check-ups continue by photo and video call, with a medical interpreter when needed.
