Proactive Medical Velcro Seat Belt Sensor (early warning E-Z release)

Velcro Seat Belt Sensor (early warning E-Z release)

The Velcro seat belt sensor is a wheelchair chair alarm belt that sounds when the hook and loop fastening is disengaged. It is meant for care settings that need earlier staff awareness when an active patient attempts to leave a chair, while also reminding the patient to stay seated for assistance. The belt adjusts from 26 inch to 46 inch and uses an early warning E-Z release design for added response time.
