sitting, and pelvic tilt in wheelchair users. It's ideal for individuals needing
improved posture, stability, or pressure distribution during daily use.
Q. How is the belt sized and what are the available dimensions?
A. The belt comes in multiple sizes with widths of 1" or 1½" and pad
lengths from 12½" to 18". Strap lengths range from 46" to 56" depending on the

and pressure relief. The proprietary webbing has smooth edges and resists
slipping and dirt buildup, making it ideal for all-day use.

sliding risk, it supports safe seating in wheelchairs. For severe asymmetry or
sliding, a four-point belt or Evoflex® may be more appropriate.
