The uniquely developed Bb+ (Backbone Plus) guides the spine and lower back into an ideal posture. Additionally, by reducing the stooping posture associated with work, it reduces the significant strain placed on the back and hips.
The large belt stabilizes and protects the lower back, and wraps around the spine, abdominal muscles, and back muscles to maintain abdominal pressure, reducing the strain on the lower back and spine during work.
A muscle belt is worn from the knees to the waist to support leg muscles. By wearing it, it will assist you in bending forward and getting up while working, reducing the strain on your muscles.
You can remove the backbone and wash only the cloth (fabric) part in the washing machine.
Two types of belts are included and can be replaced to suit your preference. The backbone fits perfectly to your back and maximizes the reaction force effect.
Tightening the belt along the abdominal oblique muscles stabilizes the trunk and improves the sense of hold. The length can also be adjusted, replaced, and removed.
The height of the chest belt can be easily adjusted by sliding it.
The design uses non-slip fabric and additional tightening belts on the top and bottom to prevent it from slipping off and make it easy to squat.
Made with breathable fabric for added comfort.
[Measured pressure on when raising a 10kg load from the floor to the desk]
*Assuming that the wearer is 172cm tall and weighs 64kg.
*Verification method: We made 10 healthy adult males raise and lower 10kg weight tested for 30 times in 10 minutes according to a metronome.
Participants did the same for both cases of wearing the jacket and not, which were recorded in a video. We then analyzed the angles of the neck, trunk, and knees of the participants from the video and assessed the data with the REBA method recommended in ISO/TR12296, international standards for evaluating occupational lower back pain.

"SUPPORT JACKET Bb+" has the effect of suppressing the forward leaning angle of the trunk, and has been confirmed to be effective in promoting good posture during work. In addition, the corset function and elastic fabric from the knees to the waist are thought to create a great sense of assistance. Measures to prevent back pain are a major social issue that is being addressed as a national policy. This product is expected to be effective in a variety of areas that require the prevention of back pain.
