Evoflex – Different from the Usual Hip Belt
What are the Hassles with ‘floppy’ Hip Belts?
- Fall into the wheels/onto the ground and get dirty
- Become tangled in slings and clothing
- Get damaged due to twisting and stretching
Floppy belts – a breeding ground for bacteria
Microbiological testing on wheelchairs has shown that Pseudomonas and other bacteria were found in an increasing number from the surface of the cushion downwards, which is the area where floppy belts tend to fall when released.
How does the Evoflex Benefit you?
- Won’t twist or fall into the wheels
- It fits into even the tightest places
- It gives a closer fit for better stability
- Can be pivoted forward/back when not in use
- It is resistant to abrasion, tearing, and temperature extremes
Buckle Options
Metal Push Button
The metal push button buckle is only available on the extra-small Evoflex; it requires a firm push to open and is suitable for users who tend to release their belts accidentally.
Push Button and Security Cover
The Push Button buckle features a sizeable recessed button designed to prevent accidental opening but does not require much hand strength to press.
The optional Push Button Security Cover fits directly over the push button. This cover is extra-secure and can only be opened with the end of a ball-point pen.
Rehab Latch
The Rehab Latch is the most effortless buckle to open for users with limited hand strength. It is opened by pushing the latch, like an aircraft seatbelt.
