Dragonfly TLSO is the TherAlign brand of code-verified orthotic systems. It combines ‘warm-and-form’ spinal bracing with the wearable therapy of a TheraTogs undergarment in a customized, integrated orthosis.The Dragonfly system’s unique (and patent pending) double-wing design anchors on the pelvis to deliver optimal stability, comfort, and torso support, with minimum weight and bulk. The warm-and-form materials allow the clinician to create a truly custom truncal orthosis in minutes – and later adjustments for fit and comfort can be made with a heat gun.Dragonfly TLSO supports the spine and trunk with a lightweight, rigid panel – forming a custom spinal support anchored on the pelvis for superior torso core stability while training the neuromotor system into more functional alignment using a TheraTogs undergarment.  Also includes the GPTA310 Posture and Torso Aligment System.

How the Dragonfly TLSO works:
A clinician first warms the Dragonfly brace using a low temperature(165°-180° F). Warming takes 8 – 14 minutes , depending on the heat source and the size of the Dragonfly. Meanwhile, a TheraTogs undergarment is applied to the wearer’s hips and torso, which is cozy, breathable and delivers somatosensory input, flexible stability, and attachment sites for muscle-assist strapping. Once warmed, the Dragonfly is then applied to support the spine with a lightweight but rigid panel, custom-formed to the iliac crests and upper trunk, to anchor spinal alignment support on the pelvis.
