Resident-Release Nylon Belt
Skil-Care Resident-Release Nylon Wheelchair Positioning Belt
Durable Nylon Webbing Construction, Resident-Release Mechanism, Postural Seating Alignment, Fully Size-Adjustable Fit, Launderable Fabric Design, and 6-Month Manufacturer Warranty
Maintaining proper pelvic positioning and posture in wheelchairs is essential for preventing forward slumping, sliding, and seating fatigue. The Skil-Care Resident-Release Nylon Belt provides a comfortable, supportive positioning solution designed to keep wheelchair users properly aligned while preserving user autonomy through an easy-to-open release closure.
Constructed from high-tensile, launderable nylon webbing, this belt attaches securely to standard wheelchair frame hardware to provide stable pelvic support. Engineered for non-restraint positioning compliance, the resident-release design allows users with basic motor skills to open the belt independently. Available in versatile Velcro closure options (including a high-visibility Red Loop style), it features an adjustable sizing system supported by a 6-month limited warranty.
