The Flexible model has four sections bearing weighted plastic balls in pockets. The sections are interchangeable and allow
for customised blankets, suited to individual needs for sensory stimulation. Flexible is characterized by the movement
of the plastic balls, which provides a changing sensory stimulation. Flexible is particularly suited for people, who need
a lasting sensory impression to strengthen their body awareness and ease motor restlessness.
The Original Protac Ball Blanket® is known for
· a wide selection of models to suit individual needs
· a filling of silent plastic balls
· a fully washable design
Flexible model
Calm model
The Calm model has a channel construction, bearing weighted plastic balls in channels. The channels allow less movement of
the balls and hence the sensory stimulation is milder and more soothing than in Flexible and Classic. Calm is particularly
suited for people, who are tactile defensive; sensitive to new and changing sensory impressions and in need of a clear
body definition.
Classic model
The Classic model is similar to Flexible in construction but without interchangeable sections. Classic is often chosen, if
the blanket needs to be tamper proof. Classic provides a changing sensory stimulation and is particularly suited for people,
who need a lasting sensory impression to strengthen their body awareness and ease motor restlessness. Classic models are
fully washable in industrial washing machines.
Granules and polystyrene models
Blankets with granules of plastic and polystyrene are alternatives to blankets with weighted plastic balls. These models are
particularly suited for people, who seek comfort, calm, warmth and weight, but are uncomfortable with the sensation of
the plastic balls. Suitable for dementia and pain relief.
