The Parafricta® Undergarment (Brief Style – Front Opening) protects the sacral and gluteal (buttocks) area against pressure ulcers (bedsores, pressure injuries) and skin breakdown due to friction and associated shear (e.g. as a result of frequent repositioning, sliding on a transfer board or wheelchair use). The high back is designed to extend to vulnerable skin in the sacrum. This front-opening, hook and loop fastening version allows less-mobile wearers to be dressed whilst lying down. It is washable and reusable (60°C, synthetic cycle).

Can be worn by men or women.  A range of different sizes are available. Select a size based on maximum hip measurement first and then within the waist size range.  Please refer to the size table in our User Guide to select the best fit.  Note that the sizes are not easily comparable with the sizes of undergarments available from major retailers.
