Description

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
