A "butterfly" style anterior chest support made from Vinyl. Includes 6 side release buckles and belt anchors for easy adjustment and attachment to a solid back. This accessory will be beneficial when the client needs assistance maintaining proper upper trunk position in the wheelchair while benefiting from the easy to clean quality of Vinyl. The 6 points of attachment offer a more aggressive harness giving more support and stability relative to holding the client back in the wheelchair.
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 #.
