The Pavlik Harness is a soft, dynamic harness used to treat congenital hip dysplasia in infants up to six months old. It keeps the hips in flexion and abduction, ensuring proper femoral head position to promote normal formation and deepening of the hip socket.
Unlike a cast, the Pavlik Harness does not rigidly immobilise the hips but allows controlled movement.
Correct position
Holds the hips in controlled flexion and abduction.
Comfortable
Felt liner and soft construction.
Easy to fit
Colour-coded hook-and-loop straps.
Safe
No metal buckles.
About hip dysplasia
Hip dysplasia covers a spectrum of developmental hip problems in infants and children, often present at birth (congenital hip dislocation, dislocatable or subluxatable hip, acetabular dysplasia). Its incidence is estimated at about 4 per 1000 live births; it occurs more often in girls and first-borns and may be hereditary. Treatment holds the hip in the reduced position – usually flexion and abduction – so the femoral head can mould the socket.
