This product is made of firm and soft materials, including the velcros, and it should be safe to use.

To assist people with wheel chairs in maintaining proper posture, my agency has provided five Posey Torso Supports. It's wonderful having them around. Someone who is the right fit could find it life changing.
I like how it works.
A person can buckle over as the day continues because it is unable to hold their weight. The person is also able to loosen it if they are active and not sitting still all day. For patients with Alzheimer's or dementia, I would not recommend it.
It does not look good (is very ugly), it is difficult to put on and awkward, but it does prevent someone in a wheelchair from falling out of their.
