The Side Pull tensioning function of the hip belt is ideal to be operated by the caregiver and tensions from the rear of the pad pulling toward the centre. This means there is more ‘force’ which is great for enhanced positioning, particularly for clients with high muscle tone. The hip belt counters pelvic rotation by allowing the caregiver to position one side of the pelvis, lock it in place and then position on the other side.
Functional benefits of Spex hip belts:
A range of buckle options
A full range of buckle options are available to suit the needs of the user and caregiver. From standard simple-release options like the Side Release and Centre Release buckles, or an even easier Easy Release Latch buckle for users with limited hand function, or options for users with inquisitive hands such as the Anti-Escape and Pen Popper buckles.
Comfortable cushioned pads
The Spex hip belt range features soft, comfortable pads that 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 users.
Versatile hardware positioning options
Attachment hardware is included with every 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.Warranty Information
