Snap pants

Snap or tear away pants made it much easier to get Steve dressed. We can lay the pants on Steve’s power chair fully opened. Then we lower Steve into his chair and snap the pants up around him. These pants also have Velcro and zipper versions. We liked the zipper closure for more formal events like our daughter’s wedding. The zipper is more hidden than the snaps, but it is not as nice with the catheter.
