Soft, removable weights slide into pockets in each cuff. Weight Adjustable. Great for increasing the intensity of deep water running as well as for patients who need to maintain a correct upright position during aquatic therapy. Fastened onto ankles via adjustable webbing straps with buckle or Velcro closure. Why buy Theraquatics Weighted Hydro Cuffs. Because: They are made from fabric that drains and air dries quickly after use. Most other cuffs are made from neoprene which does not dry well, bleaches and has a tendency to deteriorate as well as smell with sustained use. Weighted pouches can be added or removed which allows for progressive exercise. Most other cuffs are sold as having a single weight. Their design allows for various sized ankles – from very thin to very large. Most other cuffs just have a standard length of strap which fails to adequately secure them to non- standard sized ankles. Tip: Cuffs with Velcro closure may be more appropriate for swimmers with thin/smaller (minimum15.5cm circumference) ankles. Cuffs with buckle closure can be securely fitted onto larger ankles. Paediatric sized ankle weights (SKU 9528) with small volume of weight and suitable for tiny (minimum 11cm circumference) ankles are now available. Our ankle weights are not made from neoprene and therefore do not fade and breakdown from the effects of chlorinated water. Replacement weighted pouches are now available to refresh your Hydro Cuffs. Each pouch is 200gm in weight – buy a set of 10 or just one. Weight: 1kg per cuff. Sold in pairs.
