Adaptive Velcro suits are being developed in Ukraine to facilitate access to medical procedures for wounded soldiers, designed in neutral colors and loose fitting for use in stabilization centers or hospitals.
Ukraine is developing an adaptive suit for wounded soldiers that will allow them to quickly change clothes or get rid of them in stabilization centers or hospitals. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Details
The agency explains that such clothing will provide medical personnel with prompt access to medical procedures.
It is noted that the main feature of adaptive clothing is the convenience of using Velcro. Suits are provided in several sizes and heights, with the possibility of expansion for the use of the Ilizarov apparatus during treatment.
The clothes are made in neutral colors, have a loose fit and include underwear (shorts, T-shirt) and a casual version (short and long sleeved shirt, pants). Adaptive suits are designed for both men and women.
Currently, several models of Ukrainian manufacturers are being finalized and will be tested in practical conditions during military research trials
Addendum
The project, as stated by the Ministry of Defense, is being implemented by the Main Directorate for the Development of Material Support in cooperation with representatives of the Armed Forces, Ukrainian manufacturers and volunteers. The goal of the innovation is to provide wounded soldiers with high-quality and comfortable clothing after evacuation from the battlefield to stabilization centers or hospitals.
The terms of reference were defined by the Logistics Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking into account the recommendations of military medics and volunteers.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has signed memorandums of cooperation with five NGOs working in the areas of tactical medicine and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers.
