Characteristics
Rear part — reinforced and raised to better fit the seated position and to facilitate the caregiver during the movements.
Anti-decubitus surface — the back seam can cause serious problems to the user, so an anti-decubitus surface creates a comfort surface.
Battery and heating — produced through a carbon fiber wire that can be disconnected and washed.
Catheter pocket — placed on the inner part of the pants to allow easy access and self-catheterization.
Easy openings — magnets and velcro are used to close the pants.
