Product Description
Two-piece dynamic body vest is constructed of 3mm ventilated neoprene and is terry lined for comfort. Velcro® straps on the front half of the vest adhere to the Velcro®-sensitive material of the vest back. Velcro straps at shoulders, sides and crotch provide for maximum adjustment. The orthosis provides upper trunk support and proprioceptive input. The vest will provide warmth and added buoyancy during hydrotherapy and other water activities, but is NOT to be used as a life preserver. Options include pockets with metal stays and G-Tube kit (Custom order).

G-Tube Kit
Benik's trunk support can accommodate patients who also have the need for access to a feeding tube. One option is to request our G-Tube Kit.
The kit includes a non-slip gasket ring with a 2 in. center cutout and soft and hard covers.
A hole needs to be cut in the trunk support (Image 4) to allow the G-Tube to pass through the gasket ring (Image 5), which is Velcro-fastened to the inside of the trunk support at the site of the G-Tube. The non-slip material of the ring lays against the skin, helping to prevent movement of the garment.
Both a circular neoprene flap (Image 6) and domed, plastic shell (Image 7) are provided to cover the G-Tube site.
Note that a G-Tube Kit with a V-100 series vest will require a Velcro-sensitive front panel, which can limit color availability.
