Muscle Suit GS-BACK®

・By combining two types of springs, this product achieves both lumbar support and ease of walking, making it suitable for use in high-motion caregiving environments.

・It specifically reduces lumbar strain during tasks involving frequent bending, such as diaper changes, repositioning, transfers, and sheet changes.

・It operates without electricity and produces no operational noise, allowing for use during nighttime.It is also lightweight and compact. Its frame design hugs the back more closely than conventional products, allowing use even in confined spaces.

・Its IP56 dustproof and waterproof rating enables use in bathing care and other environments. It can be washed with water and disinfected.



※ "IP56" denotes the protection rating established by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The first digit indicates dust resistance, while the second digit indicates water resistance. Dust resistance is rated on a 7-point scale from Class 0 (no protection) to Class 6 (dust cannot enter). Water resistance is rated on a 9-point scale from Class 0 to Class 8 (no water ingress even under continuous submersion).
