BREATHABLE AIR FlexPoint® 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. Integrated buckles facilitate a precise fit of the product.
The vest is made of a spacer mesh fabric with a breathable function. Air flows freely between the body and the vest, keeping the user's skin ventilated. This prevents the accumulation of moisture reducing the risk of damage to skin tissues protected by the vest.
The narrow version has an anatomically waisted shape, which is specially recommended for women due to the reduction of pressure around the breast area.
