This adaptive top is designed for carer-assisted dressing or wheelchair users who need back access for dressing, medical care, or wound management. The back opens fully with Velcro, and each sleeve opens from shoulder to wrist, making it easy to dress someone lying down or seated in a wheelchair without any lifting or overhead movement.
How the opening works:
- Full back opening: Velcro fastenings run the length of the back, opening completely flat for easy lay-on dressing
- Full arm openings: each sleeve opens from shoulder to wrist with Velcro, allowing access around casts, dressings, or IV lines
- Wear fully closed for a regular-looking long sleeve top, the Velcro is not visible from the front
