SupportStraps have been developed as an accessory for use with EasyBelt, FlexiBelt, ReadyBelt, ReTurnBelt and
FlexiMove. There are three different application areas for SupportStraps:
- Leg harness for EasyBelt/FlexiBelt/ReadyBelt
- Torso/side support when using QuickMove together with EasyBelt/FlexiBelt/ReadyBelt or FlexiMove
- Side support when using ReTurn together with ReTurnBelt.
SupportStraps consist of two separate straps, each with a loop on one end and a plastic clasp on the other end. They
have a removable, padded case that relieves pressure when the strap is used as a leg harness.
