Q. What is the purpose of a 2-point padded hip belt, and who is it for?
A. This belt is designed to improve pelvic stability and posture in
wheelchair users—especially those with low muscle tone, pelvic tilt, or
rotation. It provides two firm points of contact to help reduce fall risk and
promote safe, upright sitting.
Q. What makes this belt sub-ASIS compatible, and why does that matter?
A. Sub-ASIS pads are gel-filled and positioned below the Anterior Superior
Iliac Spine (ASIS) to relieve bladder pressure while offering firm pelvic
control. This is ideal for users prone to anterior pelvic tilt or sensitive
abdominal areas.
Q. What are the key features that enhance user comfort and durability?
A.
- Seamless transition from soft webbing to contoured padding
- Rounded edge binding reduces skin irritation
- Grime-resistant and fully machine washable
- Closed-cell foam distributes pressure evenly
- Proprietary webbing resists slippage and wear
Q. How secure and easy is the buckle system?
A. The strong, metal push-button buckle is child-sized for ease of use,
yet highly secure. The exclusive D-ring design offers deeper grip, helping
users or caregivers fasten and release the belt easily—even with limited
hand dexterity.
Q. What are the dimensions and size specifications?
A.
- Size (Small - S38)
- Pad width: 1"
- Pad length: 15"
- Pad depth: 2"
- Overall length: 46"
This sizing fits smaller users who require precise pelvic support.
Q. Is the belt compatible with different wheelchair types?
A. It works with active wheelchairs, including those with sling seat
upholstery or solid seat bases. Optional 20° or 90° mounting brackets allow
secure, close-to-body placement for optimal fit and support.
