Patient Harness
ATTENTION
Before using the patient harness ensure that:
►
the patient harness shows no signs of damage or wear.
►
the straps and their couplings are mounted correctly and securely.
►
a defective patient harness is never used.
ATTENTION
For optimal use it is important that the thorax belt is closed tightly. However,
ensure that the patient feels comfortable and breathing is not impaired.
The lower edge of the chest strap should be about 2cm below the iliac crest
and tightened.
When the thorax belt is firmly closed the pressure on the leg straps is re-
duced. As a result, the patient finds the body weight support to be comforta-
ble.
