Guardian Challenger Handling harness

The ‘Guardian Challenger’ is an adaptation for the standard Guardian model which makes the harness more difficult to escape from. By exchanging the chest buckle for a continuous strip of Neoprene joining the shoulder straps together we can prevent escapologist users from putting their hands inside the shoulder straps and shrugging the harness off.

The ‘Guardian harness‘ itself is designed to provide extra postural support and guidance for those requiring mobility assistance who may falter when trying to walk by themselves or who may pose a risk to themselves or others whilst out and about in public.

Once securely fitted the harness provides a large ergonomic handle at the back by which those supervising can hold, guide and gain a greater degree of control over the wearer increasing their safety and providing a means of preventing (where appropriate) a fall or more safely manoeuvring the wearer to safety if a fall cannot be prevented.

The harness can also be modified with two smaller handles (lapel handles) on the front shoulder straps which enable those supervising to have the best possible chance of guiding the wearer in face-to-face situations and can also be used to more safely help a wearer become seated and aid in standing.

The Guardian incorporates the White Knight Wellbeing E-Z pull waist belt system and adjustable chest straps for ease of adjustment, adjustable shoulder straps and an under-strap which is removable for cleaning.

The back of the harness is made from comfortable Neoprene featuring a handle at the top for carers or supervisors to provide support and guidance.
