Flexpoint

SEMI-RIGID TRUNK VEST allows the trunk to be properly positioned while sitting. It perfectly stabilizes the sternum without restricting shoulder movement. Stabilization in the sternum enables an upright posture and reduces excessive flexion pattern. This in turn, improves head control, facilitates swallowing and breathing.

The design of the vest allows it to be mounted on most wheelchair backrests, rehabilitation chairs or other seats without the use of additional mounting elements. This is made possible by the clever design of the buckle belt, which connects the shoulder straps as well as the trunk straps to the back of the backrest with snap buckles.  

Vest is available in 2 options:

 

ATTENTION! for safety reasons chest support with zipper should be used only by people without mental illness.

 

	For safety reasons, it is recommended to use the SEMI-RIGID TRUNK VEST together with a pelvic belt or thigh abduction belts.
	Each chest support is available with front-pull (user’s fitting) or rear-pull (caregiver’s fitting). Choose your option while ordering the product.
	Before using the chest support, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the safety rules referred in the instructions of use. For information on how to use chest support safety, see pages 8-9. Improper use and failure to comply with safety rules may endanger the user’s life and cause a serious detriment to the health of a person.

 

ATTENTION! Whenever a chest support, harness or other trunk support is used, a properly adjusted pelvic support should also be worn to prevent sliding from chair/wheelchair.
