HydroFlex® Accessories
As every client is different, we have designed accessories which can cater for a whole range of needs and add comfort and security to our chairs. All of our accessories can be retro-fitted to our chairs, meaning that should a client’s condition change over the course of time, we are able to adapt the chair in line with new requirements.
Straps & Harnesses
Groin harness A positioning aid that, when correctly tensioned, provides maximum pelvic control and prevents the client from sliding forward in the seat.
Pelvic strap Keeps the clients pelvis firmly back in the seat, helping maintain a good sitting posture. Must be used under constant supervision and never as a restraint.
Chest harness* Provides upper trunk support for clients who require lateral positioning where solid lateral supports are inappropriate. Also helps maintain an upright sitting position.
Padded pelvic strap As per standard pelvic strap with the addition of sub-ASIS pads to help reduce pressure on the bony prominences at the front of the pelvis.
4-point pelvic strap The most advanced pelvic strap incorporates a four point mounting system to help maintain the position of the main strap over the pelvis and beneath the abdomen.
Positioning Aids
Adjustable Lateral Pads The new pad design has an increased support area which provides increases comfort and pressure management. Additional wide setting option to suit those with thoracic width which us the same or wider than their hip width.
Anterior knee strap Used with the pommel, the anterior knee strap blocks the front of the knees, pushing the pelvis into an upright position in the back of the seat.
Seat ramp Seat ramps create an acute hip angle to either break extensor spasm or keep the pelvis in the back of the seat.
Pommel Positioned on the front edge of the seat cushion, the pommel sits between the client's knees to abduct the thighs and help prevent the legs scissoring.
Kidney Adjustable Laterals The Kidney pad profile allows less prescriptive support than the standard pads but with an adjustment to suit asymmetrical posture.
Headrests
Soft Pillow Headrest The deep, ultra soft Dacron pillow conforms to the shape of the client's head and shoulders and provides a high level of comfort..
Soft Headrest The Dacron filled soft headrest is a simple, rectangular pillow which is available in two sizes, shallow or deep.
Soft Profiled Headrest The soft, Dacron pillow has been contoured to fit the shoulders, neck and head t o give a very comfortable and supportive head position.
Neck Headrest Available in one size, the neck rest has a deeper profile than the foam headrests to give greater lateral head control.
InLine Headrest The InLine headrest offers full cranial support, whilst the cut away sides ensure sight and hearing are unobstructed. The memory foam lining reduces the risk of pressure damage
Foam headrest Available in three thicknesses (shallow/ medium/deep) the headrest is made from contoured foam to provide basic lateral head control.
* A level of supervision appropriate to the user's abilities should be applied at all times and all straps and harnesses checked regularly to ensure appropriate set-up.
