Rib support device comprising- a length-adjustable tension strap (10; 10A; 10B, 10C) and- two fixation plasters (20; 20A; 20B, 20C) respectively connected to the two ends of the tension strap (10; 10A; 10B, 10C) and each having an adhesive side (211) that can be adhered to a location near the injury site, characterized in that the tension strap (10; 10A; 10B, 10C) is configured to secure the fixation patches (20; 20A; 20B, 20C) in such a way that the fixation plasters (20; 20A; 20B, 20C) provide a force counteracting the contraction of the muscles by expanding the bone fracture site. |
