Q. Who is this chest support ideal for?
A. It’s designed for wheelchair users with trunk weakness, poor upper body
control, or spinal alignment issues. It’s especially suitable for individuals
who require firm support but also benefit from controlled stretch during
movement or breathing.
Q. What makes Stayflex™ different from other chest supports?
A. Stayflex™ features a dual-stretch-zone design that minimizes upward shift
at the neckline when a user leans forward—reducing the risk of choking or
discomfort. It combines stretch and resistance for balance, stability, and
comfort.
Q. Can the Stayflex™ be adjusted for different user needs?
A. Absolutely. The Multi-Directional (MD) pull straps can be configured as
front-pull or rear-pull at the time of fitting, making it versatile for
individual positioning and caregiver preference.
Q. What’s the difference between the zipper and no-zipper options?
A.
- Zipper Style: Makes it easier for caregivers to put on or remove
the harness without disturbing shoulder straps. Ideal for users needing
frequent access.
- No-Zipper Style: Offers a seamless design for minimal pressure
points. Best for users who don't require frequent removal or prefer minimal
hardware.
Q. Will this chest support restrict arm or shoulder movement?
A. Not at all. Unlike rigid harnesses, Stayflex™ is engineered to provide
trunk stability without limiting shoulder mobility, supporting freedom of
movement.
Q. What are grommet straps and when should I use them?
A. Grommet straps are optional add-ons that clip onto the MD pull straps.
They provide a compact and neater front-pull setup, useful in tighter spaces or
when a cleaner aesthetic is desired.
