Even, Comfortable Rib Support with the Vulkan Rib Belt
The Vulkan Rib Belt for Men wraps the chest in stretch elastic and soft foam to give even compression and support around the rib cage. Vulkan made it for muscle strain or a rib fracture, and the universal size fits most men. To check the fit, measure around your chest just under the sternum.
Why You'll Love the Vulkan Rib Belt
- Even compression. Stretch elastic spreads the pressure evenly around your rib cage.
- Soft against the skin. A soft foam layer sits between the elastic and your chest.
- Simple to put on. Position it over the chest and fasten it at the front with the velcro closure.
- One size fits most. A universal size, measured around the chest under the sternum.
Your day, with the Vulkan Rib Belt
You slip the belt up over your chest, close it at the front and get on with your morning. The elastic holds steady support around the ribs while you move about the house, and the soft foam keeps it comfortable. When it needs a wash, a gentle cold cycle and an air dry has it ready again.
