The chest strap should be fastened behind the back of the chair and the shoulder straps should be wrapped around the two rear chair legs before doing the buckle up behind the back of the chair, adjusting to size.

Important

Restraints are a prescribed item. Care Facilities such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Aged Care Facilities etc., may order this item. For private sales to a family member, written authorisation is needed from a qualified therapist or medical doctor, approving the use of the correct Restraint for the Patient’s current condition. Remember if the Patient’s condition changes, then a different type of Restraint may be required. It is necessary to ensure the family are aware of the proper use of Restraints, as these can be dangerous if not used correctly.

General Manual Handling Warning: Manual Handling products are designed to assist Carers to help Patients. They will not make the Carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and Patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the Carer or Patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the Patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.
