Product Description
Of our 26 million war veterans, many have sustained life-altering injuries in the service of protecting the U.S.A. (where all GLAD Belt products are proudly manufactured, fulfilling all “Made in the U.S.A.” label requirements). As a result, a significant number of combat veterans face increased mobility challenges and need for assistance. That’s why GLAD Belt offers the military styled MX26 option, outfitted in camouflage colors in honor of those who have served in the armed forces. Five (5) grip handles – four (4) vertical and one (1) horizontal - offer increased support and security a wide variety of types and sizing needing additional aid in movement. Supplementing the handles are straps and harnesses for upper and lower body support during ambulatory movement or transfers. VA hospitals, treatment and rehabilitation centers; general hospital settings; nursing homes; the battlefield and other dangerous situations in the theater of war; "Wounded Warrior" programs; and global urban combat – these are the areas and setting where the GLAD Belt MX26 finds greatest utility, in addition to home and family care for the brave men and women who have defended their country.
