What are Open Back Pants?
Open back pants are designed for people who need help in getting dressed or have limited mobility. These open-back pants are traditional in fabrication, but with two overlapping panels on the backside that are closed using snaps in the waistband. With multiple snaps along the waistband they can be easily adjusted.
Why is this important?
For someone who has limited mobility, standing up and lifting each leg to get into pants can be difficult. The open back design means that you can be dressed from a seated or in a lying down position. This decreases the strain, pain and risk of injury to both the caregiver and wearer. As for toileting and incontinence management, this design results in fewer accidents as it makes the bottoms easier to get on and off. The pants are donned by sliding each leg hole over the feet, ankles and up the legs, followed by wrapping the back panels around the backside and securing at the waistband. The double panel overlap provides dignified full coverage.
Discrete closures reduce risk of pressure points with adjustable snaps hidden in the waistband.
With complete dignity in mind, the overlapping back panels provide full privacy and coverage of the backside.
The back opening makes toileting easier as you no longer need to completely remove pants for access.
Ideal for seated or supine dressing, these pants are put on from the front and snapped at the waistband with minimal lifting or jostling required.
