Q. What makes the Monoflex™ different from other chest harnesses?
A. Unlike rigid harnesses, the Monoflex™ uses engineered elastic material to
allow controlled stretch while maintaining support. Its one-piece,
double-tapered shape distributes pressure across the midsection without
restricting arm movement.
Q. How does the two-piece Monoflex™ differ from the one-piece version?
A. The two-piece version offers more adjustability and is easier to don and
doff, particularly for caregivers. It allows for a center-release buckle that’s
easier for independent users to operate.
Q. Is the Monoflex™ suitable for users with spastic tone?
A. Yes. The high-strength elastic and built-in stretch zones allow it to
manage strong spastic tone effectively while remaining comfortable.
Q. Is the center-release buckle easy to use?
A. Yes, the center-release buckle is designed for users who may need to
operate it independently. It provides a secure fit while being quick and
intuitive to release when needed.
Q. Can the Monoflex™ be mounted on different types of wheelchair
backrests?
A. Yes, this anterior trunk support is compatible with both solid and
flexible fabric backrests, offering versatility for various wheelchair
configurations.
Q. What makes the padding on the Monoflex™ unique?
A. The high-strength elastic padding offers a perfect balance of stretch and
support, adapting to the user’s movement while still providing postural control.
It also helps stabilize users with strong spastic tone.
Q. How do I choose between the Monoflex™ center release and underarm
release styles?
A. Choose the center-release model if the user needs easy self-release
access. Opt for the underarm release if appearance is a priority or if caregiver
assistance is always available, as it conceals the buckle.
