This accessory is a two piece positioning belt, 1" webbing, two padded modules (foam covered with Neoprene mounted on each belt providing for protection of both ASIS´s ) and a Fastex Buckle closure. Tri-Glides are woven on the belts for tension adjustability. At the ends of the belts are easy to install belt anchors. This will benefit the client who needs a 45 degree pelvic positioning belt that, due to significant tension or poor skin integrity, needs the pressure protection of the padded modules.
Positioning Belts, Straps and Pads found in this section enhance the positioning of the upper trunk and lower extremities. Many of the Positioning Belts and Straps are available with pads. Those without can be retrofitted with our padded sleeve options. All choices come with the appropriate mounting hardware.
The BioForm Line of Anterior Trunk Supports are available in Neoprene (Rubatex), Reverse Dartex, Vinyl (Naugahyde), and Ballistic Nylon. Neoprene is effective when control is needed but a stretch component would prove beneficial. Reverse Dartex will offer a more rigid support than Neoprene while still having some elasticity, as well as providing an easy to clean surface. Vinyl (Naugahyde) will offer the most rigid support as well as a surface which handles fluids and cleanings most easily. Ballistic Nylon is the preferred material when the consumer will try to orally or otherwise try to destroy the harness.
All styles below are available in standard sizes from XS through XL. A customization to the size and/or shape is available by selecting the appropriate model #.

The BioForm Positioning Belts are also offered with "split pads" secured to both sides of the positioning belt. This option is effective for accurate protection of the A.S.I.S. bones as the pads can not slide off of the bony prominences.
The belts are available in 1 ´, 1½" and 2" webbing widths and come with a choice of 3 closures; d-ring/velcro, fastex buckle and auto style buckle. Every belt comes standard with a tri-glide (for easy adjustment) and a d-ring /end fitting unit for easy mounting.
A padded belt can be created by choosing one of our padded sleeve options.
