Manufacturer Description

Comfortable 2-Point Padded Hip Belt

Bodypoint's unique design features distinguish this simple-to-use belt with 2 points of attachment. With all-day user comfort in mind, there is a seamless transition from the creep-resistant webbing to the contoured pads, with a rounded edge binding where they contact the user. Sewing techniques and materials are integrated for maximum grime resistance, but the belt, like all our soft goods, is machine washable and dryable as well.

The Bodypoint difference is in the details:

• Proprietary webbing is designed with smoother edges and a weave that resists slipping and dirt
  
• Closed-cell foam in our pads is highly resilient and has great pressure distribution properties
• Exclusive D-ring design is deeper for larger hand sizes and stays in place for easier grasping.

Small Push Button

A strong, secure, child-sized buckle. Buckle Security Cover is also available, please see the Pelvic Positioning Accessories page for more details.

Plastic Side-Release

A secure, lightweight, snap-action buckle which is easy to release even with one hand.

Rehab Latch Buckle

This is the first buckle ever designed for rehab use. It is lightweight, strong, low profile, and easy to operate with limited hand function. The Rehab Latch buckle is 20% more compact than standard aircraft latch-style buckles. It opens when the cover is lifted to a 70° angle so that the buckle won’t open by accidently bumping the buckle. The metal adjustments in the buckle make it easy to tighten the belt, yet prevents the webbing from slipping once tightened so that the belt stays in place.

Push-Button

This is the first push-button buckle designed for rehab use. The buckle is 1/3 lighter than comparable push-button models. It is designed with rounded edges that improve comfort and prevent snagging on clothing. It has the same internal metal adjustments as the Rehab Latch buckle so that the belt tightens easily but does not loosen through the day.
