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

GroinHarness

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

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.
