Bed Belt
Item # 450
This belt is designed to help keep patients in the centre of the bed and to help prevent them from getting out of bed. The 50mm belt is soft and comfortable to wear as it is fitted loosely around the patient. The Green webbing is to identify this belt for bed usage, and not for chair usage. Sometimes the Bed Belt can replace using side rails that the patients can climb over and fall from, causing injury. Side rails can look degrading when visitors see the patients in bed, whereas the Bed Belt is not seen, as it is worn under the covers.
When using the Bed Belt, nursing staff should not forget that patients still need attention during the night and their care should never be neglected.
It is possible for patients to fiddle with the buckle and make the waist webbing wider, without undoing the buckle. If the waist webbing is too large, the patient could then shuffle down the bed and the waist webbing may catch under their chin. This could strangle the patient resulting in death. Do not use this product if the patient is likely to interfere with this buckle.
This item has more or less been superceded by the Soft Bed Belt which is safer to use.
WARNING - Only use a Safety Belt or Restraint if all other alternatives have been tried. Ensure Restraint Authorisation has been obtained. Restrained patients should be kept under observation, as their behaviour may alter and another restraint may be more appropriate. Restraints are a prescribed item. The wrong restraint or the correct restraint incorrectly fitted can cause injury or death.
This item may be of interest if you are wondering how to stop patients falling out of bed.
