PFD-A’s and Lj-A’s have revolutionized water safety for people with physical disabilities.

Designed according to very high standards established by hospitals, PFD-A’s and Lj-A’s were first developed in rehabilitation centers to meet the needs of individuals experiencing loss of autonomy through Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Spinal Cord Injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Epilepsy.

PFD-A’s and Lj-A’s were designed to meet the needs of people having lost the control of their movements or survival reflexes.

Our vests meet the needs of a large clientele such as hydro-therapists, enthusiasts, vacationers, senior citizens, children and infants.

Our life jackets are increasingly setting the standards in water safety.

 

Easy to use

A unique therapy tool


PFD-A and Lj-A life jackets are great tools for physio- and ergotherapists. For the first time, these professionals have access to a steady and safe support while they dispense their treatments. These safety vests are resistant to involuntary reflexes while at the same time stabilizing the body in the water.

Therapists can now extend their hydro-therapeutic care simultaneously to a greater number of individuals.

Treatments gain in quality

Lj-A
Safety and Freedom

The unique design of the Lj-A model keeps the body upright and the face out of the water.

The Life jacket-Adapted or Lj-A is designed for disabled people. It ensures a very high degree of stability. The body leans neither to the back nor to the side and, even more important, the face always remains out of the water. Lj-A protects life.

This life vest allows individuals to swim comfortably on their stomach. Its stability reassures the most apprehensive users and enables them to participate in aquatic programs.

When a person can place him- or herself in an upright position, the Lj-A life vest should be used rather than one of the PFD-A models.

The Lj-A gives users the freedom they need to become autonomous.
