Exospine
Spineband AB
The official Spineband source was inaccessible in the existing evidence set. Keep the row as an unverified low-confidence draft, with only back-area signal from the product name until official evidence is confirmed.
PolySpine
Official evidence describes PolySpine as a lightweight, portable torso and head support system configured to the user’s spine by a trained occupational therapist. Keep categories focused on back/spine support.
Dorsum
Official evidence identifies Exospine Back Support and Dorsumtech back-health pages. Keep the profile narrow around back support and avoid adding unsupported limb or industrial categories.
