Product Description

ⓘ Important — Sizing Update Notice The Tynor Rib Belt has moved from a previous 4-size system (Small, Medium, Large, XL) to a new simplified 2-size system (Regular and Plus). Some stock currently being fulfilled may still be labelled in the previous sizing format during the transition period. Both size systems cover the same chest measurements — refer to the full size chart in the Product Information section below to confirm your correct fit regardless of which format your order arrives in. If you are unsure which size to order, contact us with your chest measurement (measured below the underarms) before purchasing. |
Tynor Rib Belt (A09) — designed to help support and compress the rib cage during fractures, post-surgical recovery, and thoracic rehabilitation.
The Tynor Rib Belt (A 09) is a prefabricated thoracic support belt designed to help compress and support the rib cage, providing controlled support to the thoracic and upper abdominal regions during recovery from rib fractures, post-cardiothoracic surgery, and related chest conditions. Made from superior-quality monofilament elastic webbing with high porosity, it is designed to allow sufficient flexibility for comfortable breathing while helping to maintain firm, consistent compression. The Tynor Rib Belt is widely used across Australian hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, and in home recovery settings. Supplied by Australian Healthcare Supplies, a registered NDIS provider based in Perth, Western Australia.
Key Benefits
- Designed to help compress and support the rib cage — The elasticised body is designed to assist compression of the thoracic and upper abdominal regions, helping to reduce discomfort associated with rib movement during breathing, coughing, or sneezing.
- Designed to allow comfortable breathing — Despite firm compression, the belt is constructed with sufficient flexibility to assist comfortable respiratory movement throughout the recovery period.
- Localised compression pad — An integrated splinting pad can be positioned directly at the fracture site or surgical incision, designed to assist localised grip and targeted support where it is most needed.
- Extra porous construction for extended wear — Monofilament elastic webbing provides high aeration, helping to maintain skin comfort and reduce heat build-up — important for post-surgical patients wearing the belt throughout the day.
- Designed to help reduce rolling or buckling — Semi-rigid splints integrated into the belt are designed to hold it flat and in position, helping to maintain consistent compression and reduce belt shifting during movement.
- Designed for independent application — Long hook-and-loop closure panels allow easy, adjustable fitting and removal with minimal assistance — important for patients with limited mobility post-surgery.
- Broad thoracic coverage — Optimal belt width is designed to provide wide, even coverage across the thoracic region, assisting in more consistent support of the chest wall.
Intended Use
The Tynor Rib Belt is designed to help provide compression and support to the thoracic and upper abdominal regions. It may assist in the management of discomfort associated with the following conditions:
- Rib fractures and dislocations
- Support for sternal fractures
- Post-cardiothoracic surgery recovery and chest wall protection
- Protection and compression of surgical incisions of the chest and abdomen
- Reduction of discomfort from sudden rib cage expansion during deep breathing, coughing, or sneezing
- Assisting secretion clearance from the lungs post-surgery, helping to reduce the risk of post-operative pulmonary complications
- General thoracic and upper abdominal compression and support during recovery
This product is intended to be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. If your doctor, physiotherapist, or surgeon has recommended a rib belt or thoracic support belt, confirm product code A 09 with your clinician. NDIS participants should contact us to confirm funding eligibility.

Product Information
| How to Use | 1. Position the compression pad directly at the site of rib fracture, injury, or surgical incision. 2. Wrap the belt around the thorax keeping it upright — follow the "up inside" label for correct orientation. 3. Fasten the hook-and-loop closure to a comfortable, firm compression — snug but not so tight as to restrict breathing. 4. Adjust the pad and straps as needed for a secure and comfortable fit. 5. Check that breathing feels comfortable and unobstructed before completing application. |

| Common Questions |
What is the Tynor Rib Belt used for? The Tynor Rib Belt (A09) is designed to help provide compression and support to the thoracic and upper abdominal regions. It is intended to assist in the management of discomfort associated with rib fractures, sternal fractures, post-cardiothoracic surgery recovery, and chest or abdominal surgical incision protection. It should be used only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Is the Tynor Rib Belt suitable for fractured ribs? Yes — the Tynor Rib Belt is specifically designed to help provide compression and support to the thoracic region and is widely used in the management of rib fractures across Australian hospitals and clinics. Use only as directed by your treating doctor or physiotherapist. Can the Tynor Rib Belt be used after chest surgery? It is designed to assist post-cardiothoracic and post-surgical recovery. Use only as specifically directed by your treating surgeon or physician — do not self-prescribe for post-operative use. How tight should a rib belt be worn? The belt should feel firm and supportive, but you must be able to breathe comfortably. If breathing feels restricted at any point, loosen the belt immediately and seek guidance from your healthcare professional. What size Tynor Rib Belt do I need — Regular or Plus? Measure the circumference of your chest below the underarms. Regular fits 28–40" (71–102 cm). Plus fits 40–52" (102–132 cm). If you are between sizes or unsure, contact us before ordering. What is the difference between the old and new Tynor Rib Belt sizing? The previous sizing used four sizes: Small (28–32"), Medium (32–36"), Large (36–40"), and XL (40–44"). The new sizing uses two sizes: Regular (28–40") and Plus (40–52"). Small, Medium, and Large all correspond to Regular. XL corresponds to Plus. Some stock during the transition period may still arrive in the old sizing format — your chest measurement is the most reliable guide. Can I use NDIS funding for the Tynor Rib Belt? Australian Healthcare Supplies is a registered NDIS provider. NDIS participants may be eligible to use funding toward this product. Contact us to confirm eligibility for your specific plan. Is the Tynor Rib Belt available in Australia? Yes — the Tynor Rib Belt (A09) is stocked and dispatched from Perth, Western Australia by Australian Healthcare Supplies.

For Health Professionals & Hospital Procurement
| Intended Clinical Use | Prefabricated thoracic orthosis designed to help provide external compression and support the rib cage and thoracic region. Intended to assist in the management of discomfort and support recovery in the following clinical presentations: Rib fractures and dislocations · Sternal fractures · Post-cardiothoracic surgery · Protection of chest and abdominal surgical incisions · Post-operative respiratory support — assisting secretion clearance and helping to reduce discomfort during coughing and deep breathing · General thoracic and upper abdominal compression during recovery |
| Contraindications | Known hypersensitivity to component materials · Active skin lesions or open wounds at the application site (unless appropriately dressed and clinically cleared for compression) · Respiratory compromise where thoracic compression may further impair ventilation · Circulatory disorders where external compression is contraindicated · Paediatric use without clinical assessment and supervision |
| Clinical Precautions | Monitor respiratory comfort — compression must not restrict breathing or reduce oxygen saturation · Position compression pad precisely at the fracture or incision site as clinically directed · Monitor for pressure-related skin reactions, particularly over bony prominences and surgical wounds · Post-operative application to be prescribed, fitted, and supervised by the treating clinician · Advise periodic removal as clinically appropriate · Discontinue and reassess if pain increases, respiratory discomfort develops, or skin breakdown occurs |
