The patented SoftTouch seat belt pad is designed to provide comfort and a level of protection to those with pacemakers, defibrillators, chemotherapy ports, or other medical conditions while wearing a seat belt.

The recessed underside, along with the open “C” shape design, enables the medical device to sit in a free air space without direct contact from the seat belt itself. This eliminates irritation over the area where the medical device is located, providing improved comfort during everyday travel.

SoftTouch also reduces the forces over the region where the device is positioned. By enabling you to wear your seat belt and shoulder harness correctly, you are better protecting yourself if an automobile accident were to occur.

Along with reducing compressive force, the SoftTouch device also lessens vibration transmission. Inaccurate readings can occur due to seat belt vibration over the pacemaker implant area. SoftTouch lifts the shoulder belt, like a bridge, over the area of concern, eliminating direct contact between the pacemaker/defibrillator/access port and the shoulder belt.

Made with polyurethane and silicone geland extensively tested at the Transportation Research Center, SoftTouch provides the most comfort and protection available.
