Functional benefits
Different Buckle Options
Full range of buckle options are available to suit the needs of the client and caregiver. From standard simple-release options like the Side Release and Centre Release buckles or an even easier Easy Release Latch buckle for user's with limited hand function, or options for behavioural clients with inquisitive hands such as the Anti-Escape and Pen Popper buckles! There is a solution for everyone!
Comfortable Neoprene Cushioned Support Pads
The Spex Hip Belt range feature a soft padded neoprene support surface which provides superior comfort for the user. The high-quality neoprene material offers the perfect amount of stretch to allow the user to move within the support and remain functional. The soft support pads offer excellent resilience, water resistance, and conform to the shape of the user's body without creasing.
Soft Binding
Smooth, soft binding around the edge of the pads is comfortable against sensitive skin and ensures the hip belt doesn't irritate the user.
Durable Webbing
Durable webbing is ‘ridge’ woven for maximum grip once adjusted so that it doesn't loosen or give way over time. This makes it a great option for high tone clients.
Versatile Hardware Positioning Option
Attachment hardware is included with every hip belt allowing for a multitude of positioning options.
Wickable Fabric
Wickable fabric that transports moisture away from the skin, coupled with a sleek pad design that reduces coverage, minimises sweating and moisture build-up.
