Janus 2019
Janus 2019 Looking BOTH ways… Moving FORWARD A Janus moment for us. Much of our development schedule centers around ISS. Here we are half way between ISS Pittsburgh 2019 & ISS Vancouver 2020. We thought it a good time to reflect on HOW all the products introduced in Pittsburgh are fairing. We hope you are already finding them useful for your clients. If you need samples or help with any of these, please let us know. Just REPLY to this email. Adjustable Forehead Stabilizer The Adjustable Forehead Stabilizer continues to get huge attention and with good reason. There is simply nothing in the market that works as well. Period. Based on your requests, in the time since ISS, we have also created Power version, Pediatric version, Extensions & Adapters. Adjustable Forehead Stabilizer will now fit virtually any headrest hardware. Adapters make it easy to use with existing head rest hardware & pad. The SRAFS is truly changing lives for those with ALS, MS, and other diseases where neck strength is causing “flexing forward” problem. Finally, LOOK Forward from your chair !! Sta-Rite™ Adjustable Forehead Stabilizer Selection Guide Limit-Less™ Another item that was generating a buzz (which Josh mistakenly thought was a nest of hornets) was our new Limit-Less™ line of magnetic self engaging buckles for belts and harnesses that allow users to self release thereby staying on the right side of the anti-restraint requirements while providing safety, stability & support. Whether in a wheelchair, shower chair, or on the toilet, no one wants to feel insecure, unstable, or unsafe. On the other hand, being restrained in a way that is not possible to self-release doesn’t feel good either and can violate restraint rules. Our new Limit-Less™ line of magnetic self-engaging buckles for belts & harnesses makes it easier for users to self-release... thereby staying on the RIGHT side of the anti-restraint requirements while providing safety, stability & support. Limit-LessTM Product Sizing Chart Guide Infinitely Adjustable Lateral Two ‘swing-away’ products got lots of attention at ISS . First our strong, infinitely adjustable lateral solves the ‘get it out of the way so the arm can be gotten out of the way’ without hitting the lateral problem. The Sta-Rite™ Lateral now swings away 210º to get behind the back and out of the way. I hope you are as happy as I am. The ability to move a “swing away” lateral support to 180º was a big improvement over earlier products that only swung away 90º The extra 90º meant no more laterals BENT by hitting a door jam. It WAS better &yet...there was still a BIG problem for clients who need to flip back their arm rest for side transfer. Laterals usually ‘bring a pad in’ to support the trunk of the body. When swung back 180º, they hindered putting the arm... back into position. That problem is now history. LATERAL Selection Guide Thoracic stabilizer The other ‘swing-away’ is an upper body support that is great for some Duchene’s clients because they can lift & swing out of the way when they don’t need upper body support. This is another support without restraint. HIP Stars Journey's song: “Anyway You Want It” is a good description of Sta-Rite™ hip guides.
