Variable tension, light, non-stretch breastplate band (1) provided with Velcro3 tape at one end (4) for initially tensioning the thorax-immobilizing device. The band is inserted into an optional metal part which partially rotates to tighten the band about the thorax and further tighten it in the event of coughing or discomfort. The device of the invention ensures that the thorax is continuously immobilized and is suitable, in particular, for patients who have been discharged from hospital after undergoing thorax surgery. The breastplate band enhances healing of the sternum, helping to consolidate it during the three or six months it needs to be worn, while allowing the patient to dress normally. The wearer of the device can tighten and further tighten it in a single operation.
