Varilite 4 Point Hip Belt

Description

Purpose and Benefits

The low-slip, laminated closed-cell foam used to make the pads is edge-bonded for comfort and longevity. The user can choose between a static and dynamic harness with the use of a dynamic positioning strap. Dynamic movement is advantageous for clients with spasticity or when doing functional tasks like reaching. The shoulder/back level is where the adjustment is made. When positioning the user from behind, carers should utilise a top-pull chest harness. When adjusting the harness, the carer gains more leverage and keeps appropriate body mechanics. There is also a bottom pull attachment available.
