Product Spotlight
For Sizing measure chest circumference
The Wheaton-Pavlik™ Harness is meticulously constructed to conform to prescribed orthopedic standards
It is used to treat hip dysplasia by holding the hips in a position of controlled flexion and abduction
Unlike a cast, the harness does not rigidly immobilize the hips, but allows movement in a controlled manner
This allows the head of the femur to deeply mold the acetabulum, stabilizing the hip
The patient’s comfort is assured with the soft inner lining of the halter
Hook-and-loop fasteners allow for rapid and secure adjustment
Without bulky buckles, the child is comfortable in any position, and all adjustments to front and back straps can be made while the child is laying on his or her back
Color-coded straps help parents to avoid misapplication
A specially-designed anti-slip foot piece prevents the foot from slipping out of the harness
Washing of the harness should be done by hand with a gentle detergent, and then allowed to drip dry
