In the case of the BaxMAX, it provides 5 times the amount of support. The compound pulley effect enables you to get the brace tighter and provide more support than a multi-pull brace. For example, the BaxMAX has a 5:1 compound pulley, giving you a 5:1 mechanical advantage over a standard 1:1 pull system. This is called a compound pulley which gives you leverage when you are tightening the brace. Also, people tend to wear a multi-pull back brace too long because they are too difficult to loosen and re-tighten, which ultimately causes muscle atrophy.Ī single pull back brace (like the BaxMAX) has only one pull that is connected to both sides of the brace and includes a series of "pulleys" to tighten the brace. However, they typically don't get tight enough to address an acute or chronic low back pain problem.
Multi-pull braces are the most common types of back braces and can help someone who is just looking for some extra support for lifting or has a minor low back issue. Multi-pull back braces either use a pull to stretch an elastic panel sewn in the rear of the brace, or the pull may be connected to the opposite side of the brace and simply bring two parts of the brace together. Often, these types of braces (also called criss-cross braces) are easier to tighten than a stretch brace, however just because they use multiple pulls does not mean that they get any tighter than a stretch brace. There are several back braces on the market that use cord-pulls to tighten, but it's important to understand the difference.Ī multi-pull back support has more than one pull to tighten the brace around the core. The patented 5:1 compound pulley system enables the BaxMAX to get 5X tighter than the elastic braces, resulting in 5 times the support. The material compound makes it extremely durable (has a 5-year warranty), yet comfortable enough to wear all day if needed, plus it doesn't hold heat, so you won't get hot and sweaty. It's made of a thin, porous nylon fabric (stitched with Kevlar) so it doesn't stretch like an elastic back brace and is breathable.
First, the BaxMAX is not made of elastic. When the BaxMAX was created, we considered all of the shortcomings of a typical back brace in our design.
