QUESTION:
I have a large lady needing an LS support. Waist 49 Hips 60
Which companies will work with me to make a custom size?

RESPONSES: Thanks to all who contributed!!

Tribar has been excellent. They can fab custom sizes on most garments

I would try Becker or Central Brace.
They will both do a custom to those specs.

Call Barb Fletcher at Tribar...they make custom supports in a wide variety of
styles.

I suggest Tribar Orthopedic. They do excellent work.

We have had a patient much larger than that and had a custom L/S Corset made
at American Orthopaedics out of Cleveland, Alabama. You may want to call
Andy Anderson at Vanguard if you cannot obtain that number 1-800-869-6389

JS Sales style 3001 XXXlg will fit a 60. Some manufacturers have garments
that go that large. Also, American Orthopedic in Cleveland,Al, is very easy
to work with for the type of garment you need. One more is the Saunders
Sport All goes that large. If I give you the impression I have experience
here, I do, lots. Good luck.

I believe Matrix can help you. 1-800-628-3162.

   The stock CAMP LSOs go up to 56 I believe. You can often get
away with just adding an extension anteriorly. If not, CAMP
does make custom ones but it takes 6 weeks or so.

 Barb at Tribar in Cincinati. they are very good with these large folks

You must know that CAMP will custom fabricate, but it takes a coon's age to
get it.....check with Freeman or Truform, their time frame is a little better.

I would recommend that you call Barb Hardin at
Tribar. She
can make this and other types of supports. She can be reached at
800-332-2844.

I have used Freeman several times, but don't expect it tomorrow.

My experience is that Freeman Mfg. (800/253-2091) can do the job
with the least hassle and best turnaround. As you would expect, custom
garments are not returnable, so measure well!

Tribar. Ask for Barbara. We have used them for years and they are high
quality at reasonable prices. Have NEVER had a problem with their
products. I still got ya beat size wise, though. Had a waist once at
65. Got 3/4 the way around the lady and RAN OUT OF MEASURING TAPE!!!!
What a hoot.

Tribar in Cincinnati can make most anything in corest devices.

true form in Cincinnati Ohio will make it up in about 2-3 weeks


I highly recommend Tribar. Barbara is extremely talented at fitting even
the most difficult body types.

Try Tri-Bar in Cincinnati, Ohio

Tribar Orthopedic, Cincinnati, OH 1 800 332 2844. Tell them what you need
and they will make it. Unfortunately, their corsetiere had surgery recently
and just got back to work, it might take two to three weeks right now.
Usually, one week.

Orthomerica! Call them at 800-446-6770. They will have it back to you the
next day if you desire!

You can try tribar, they make custom. Dale medical also makes a latex free
binder that goes up to her measurements and more.

There's a small company in Tampa, FL called US Orthotics that can work with
you to make a custom LSO of this size quite readily and inexpensivly. I've
dealt with them often and they turn out a nice product. Just plain good
people. Anthony Valasquez is the owner/operator.

CAMP does custom LS supports. The specials ordering form is in the back of
the current catalog.

 I have taken two XXL corsets and sewn them together in the past. Seem to
work OK.

Call Freeman. They have your size in over the counter stock.

We've been pleased with Tri-Bar. They look great and fit well. Reasonably
priced.

There is a great company in your neck of the woods that still makes custom
corsets. The CO there is Craig and I believe the company name is Royal or
Royale. You can get a more accurate reference by calling Darrell Clark or
Shelly at Rancho Los Amigos Orthotics dept ((562) 940-7655).

You may want to contact Aspen Medical Products (800/295-2776) and get some
information on their custom fitted LSO and TLSO's. They can accommodate from
a 26 circumference up to a 59 circumference. The size is determined by
taking the measurement at the hips and the waist and then averaging them.
The brace can be modified and trimmed to provide a custom fit.

Quickbooks is a simple, user-friendly accounting software with inventory
capability. It works well if you are inventorying the same things you are
selling. That is, if you buy apples, bananas and peaches and sell apples,
bananas and peaches, it's great.
    If, however, you buy apples, bananas and peaches and mix them together to
make fruit smoothies, which you then sell, the program won't work. You can't
tell it that 1/2 apple, 1/4 banana and 1 peach went into each smoothie. So it
won't work for managing a manufacturer's inventory. But if you just want to
keep track of knee supports, ACE Braces, cock-up wrist splints, soft cervical
collars, etc. with a set reorder point built in, it works great.
