Product description
Use of SupportStraps as leg harness for EasyBelt/FlexiBelt/ReadyBelt
Before use:
- Always read and follow the instructions in the manual for the product with which SupportStraps are
to be used.
- Plan the lift and decide how many caregivers will be needed to assist to ensure safety.
- Always perform a trial fitting.
- Do not leave the patient unattended during a lifting situation.
SupportStraps consist of two separate straps, each with a loop on one end
and a plastic clasp on the other end. They have a removable, padded case
that relieves pressure when the strap is used as a leg harness.
Read and follow the instruction in the manual for the belt.
SupportStraps are secured to the appropriate handle at
the back of the belt (1), so that the straps are behind the
patient’s hips.
Secure each SupportStrap to the belt by drawing the strap
through the hole and then through itself to form a loop (2).
Pull the straps between the patient’s legs and then secure
the clasps to the appropriate handles on the front of the
belt (3).
The straps now function as a leg harness and prevent the
belt from sliding upward during transfer/gait training (4).
Adjust the straps and the belt, so that the leg harness fits
comfortably. The handles may be better placed if a different
size is used.
