For what ages are the MARWELL abduction pants intended?
MARWELL abduction pants are produced in two sizes, which cover the period of growth from the birth of the child for the period required for abduction swaddling. Size 52 (code VZP 78 939) is intended for children up to the age of three months; size 58 (code VZP 78 940) is intended for children up to the age of six months.What is the difference between MARWELL abduction pants and similar marketed orthopaedic aids?
MARWELL abduction pants are unique due to the lining made of PU foam with a memory effect, which produces optimal pressure on the legs of the child and does not change shape during everyday use. The width of this lining was consulted with major specialists in orthopaedics. MARWELL pants are made of 100% cotton and they do not cause any pressure. Compared with current marketed aids, MARWELL pants have a significantly smaller volume of abduction swaddling.What nappies should be used in the MARWELL abduction pants?
Common absorbent nappies or classical pants-style nappies may be inserted into the MARWELL abduction swaddling.What do the specialists say?

Abduction positioning is appropriate in the early infant period for the correct development of hip joints even in the case of completely favourable clinical and ultrasound findings. MARWELL cotton pants with an additional PU cushion completely fulfil the prerequisites of abduction swaddling..."

"... The evaluated medical device has been used for therapeutic usage and as a preventive orthopaedic aid for newborns in the first three months of their life, completely replacing the current preventive system of wide swaddling using three nappies in the prevention of the origin and development of congenital hip joint dysplasia..."
An excerpt from a Conclusion of Clinical Evaluation, MUDr.Jan Charvát CSc., specialist in paediatric orthopaedics, member of EPOS, AACPDM:
