Carbon Based, LLC is the premiere source for the application of carbon fiber technology in the treatment of Pectus Carinatum.
Our mission is two fold: To educate patients and their families about Pectus Carinatum, known in layman’s terms as “pigeon chest”, and to provide Orthopedic Practitioners who treat these
cases with the devices and support they need to confidently and professionally reach their treatment goals.
A non-prevalent disorder, Pectus Carinatum is a disturbing condition for those affected by it. Historically, the condition required surgical intervention to correct. Over recent decades, however,
the standard of care has evolved to the point where orthotic bracing has replaced thoracic surgery to correct this deformity. These devices marked an improvement in treatment over thoracic
surgery. However, the use of ratchet straps in these designs was both uncomfortable and caused compression of the ribs, among other problems. Clearly, the concept was preferable over surgery, but
the design needed to evolve.
Through clinical trials and research, Carbon Based, LLC has designed orthoses with the patient in mind. We have developed a breakthrough line of devices, the P4CO, to treat and to reverse the debilitating effects of “pigeon
chest”. In fact, the P4CO line of devices is “THE CHOICE” for compressive brace Pectus Carinatum treatment. Read More
Due to its carbon fiber construction, the P4CO is both flexible and comfortable to wear. The P4CO is not bulky and therefore less likely to be detectable under the wearer’s clothing. The
materials comprising the brace will not irritate skin, or cause damage to clothing or bedding. Additionally, this brace has a simple Velcro closure, making it easy for the wearer to put on and
remove themselves. Its design is modular, has few moving parts and can be serviced, when required, by the patient’s Orthotist. To learn more about how the P4CO can improve Pectus Carinatum for
