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.
