Application of BariVest on the patient
Seated position at the bedside:
Ensure that the front and back sections are placed the right way
around. The product label is on the back section.
The patient leans to one side of the bed and the BariVest is placed
centred under the seat, as far back under the patient as possible,
with the narrow section under the crotch.
When the BariVest is correctly positioned, the patient sits up again
and the front section is pulled up over the stomach as high as pos-
sible. Check to ensure that BariVest is evenly positioned both front
and back.
Fasten the upper belt first, and then the two lower belts.
Tension the upper belt, so that it provides good support.
Adjust the lower belts, so that they sit comfortably. All belts may
need to be adjusted again after the patient has risen.
