Q. What makes the Monoflex™ different from other chest harnesses?
A. Unlike rigid harnesses, the Monoflex™ uses engineered elastic material to allow controlled stretch while maintaining support. Its one-piece, double-tapered shape distributes pressure across the midsection without restricting arm movement.
Q. How does the two-piece Monoflex™ differ from the one-piece version?
A. The two-piece version offers more adjustability and is easier to don and doff, particularly for caregivers. It allows for a center-release buckle that’s easier for independent users to operate.
Q. Is the Monoflex™ suitable for users with spastic tone?
A. Yes. The high-strength elastic and built-in stretch zones allow it to manage strong spastic tone effectively while remaining comfortable.
Q. Is the center-release buckle easy to use?
A. Yes, the center-release buckle is designed for users who may need to operate it independently. It provides a secure fit while being quick and intuitive to release when needed.
Q. Can the Monoflex™ be mounted on different types of wheelchair backrests?
A. Yes, this anterior trunk support is compatible with both solid and flexible fabric backrests, offering versatility for various wheelchair configurations.
Q. What makes the padding on the Monoflex™ unique?
A. The high-strength elastic padding offers a perfect balance of stretch and support, adapting to the user’s movement while still providing postural control. It also helps stabilize users with strong spastic tone.
Q. How do I choose between the Monoflex™ center release and underarm release styles?
A. Choose the center-release model if the user needs easy self-release access. Opt for the underarm release if appearance is a priority or if caregiver assistance is always available, as it conceals the buckle.
