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 #.
