Safety belts

Recomedic offers a vast variety of high quality wheelchair seat belts, designed to secure the wheelchair user. They are used to properly position the disabled person in their chair in order to reduce the risk of injury in case of a fall. Moreover, they help maintain the pelvis in the most neutral possible alignment, provide stability, and prevent the user from sliding and excessive movement. Wheelchair seat belts ensure the safety of the people with disabilities. For safety belts to work properly, however, they need to be well adjusted and chosen with each user’s individual needs in mind.

Types of wheelchair seat belts

There are three types of wheelchair seat belts available in Recomedic’s catalogue: lap belts, chest belts, and four-point harnesses.

Lap belts

Lap belts are fastened across the lap. They were designed to secure the lower body of a wheelchair user and prevent them from sliding forward or tipping out of the chair. They are suitable for people with good mobility and body control. Lap belts provide a basic level of stability, while being very easy to use and extremely cost effective.

Chest belts

Chest belts are wrapped around the chest and secure the wheelchair user’s upper body. They stop the disabled person from sliding forward and leaning sideways, can enhance posture and positioning, but cannot prevent forward tipping. Chest belts are suitable for wheelchair users who have limited body control and are likely to lean forward.

Four-point harnesses

Four-point harnesses consist of two straps used to secure the upper body and another two to secure the lower body. They prevent the wheelchair user from sliding forward, leaning sideways, and tipping.

Recomedic also offers secure seat belt buckles, also the models with lock and key for additional safety.
