Features & Benefits
Introducing the Pavlik Harness, a specialised orthotic device designed to gently position infants’ hips to aid in proper development. Constructed with velour straps, a bib, and thermoformed booties, this harness ensures both functionality and comfort. The shoulder straps are padded with neoprene to enhance comfort, and all straps are adjustable with hook-and-loop fastenings to achieve an optimal fit.
