• Frame is foldable for transport
• Includes swivel casters with directional locks, to allow for use as a walker on open, level ground

KAYE SUSPENSION HARNESSES

Kaye Suspension Harnesses are designed to comfortably hold and support the user in the Kaye Suspension Walkers. The harnesses are made from a material with a compression element that allows the harness to fit securely around the user’s body.

Small and Slim-Medium size harnesses

• Have three components: A body vest, 4 compression straps and 4 strap pads
• Fit between the legs and buckle up at each side
• Weight capacity up to 37 kg.

Medium and Large size harnesses

• Have four components: A body vest, 4 compression straps, 4 strap pads and 2 thigh cuffs
• These harnesses do not fit under the legs, instead they rely on the compression of the vest and the thigh straps to hold the harnesses in place
• Buckle up at the back and front
• se these harnesses do not fit under
• For heavier users up to 91 kg.

It is recommended that the user wears the vest in supine or standing with the hips in extension. The lower buckles around the pelvis need to be pulled tight to keep the harness in place while the client is suspended. Please ensure that clothing under the vest is not bulky or made of slippery material. The four compression straps can be added to aid alignment of the trunk, head and hips. The strap pads can be added once the user is suspended to protect the head from the hardware on the suspension system.
