ReTurnBelt is used for raising from a seated to a standing position, and for support in the standing position in
combination with the use of ReTurn transfer platform. ReTurnBelt has a more rigid lower section for easy application and
an elastic upper section for a better and more comfortable fit. ReTurnBelt has several gripping alternatives and a locking
strap for extra support and safety in connection with the use of the ReTurn platform.
Placement of ReTurnBelt
Fit the ReTurnBelt to the client with the elastic section facing
upward and the rigid, lower section downward, as shown in the
illustration on the product label.
Lean the client forward or to one side and guide the lower
section of the belt down towards the ‘sit bones’ (lowest bony
prominences or ischial tuberosities).
Secure the belt with the Velcro straps. The entire length of the
front Velcro strap must be secured to the soft Velcro strap.
The locking strap can be temporarily folded under the edge of
the belt, so that it is accessible when the client has risen to a
standing position. The locking strap is then looped around the
ReTurn for added security while the client is standing.
