Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Arm/Wheelchair Lap Cushion may be an alternative to a restraint belt. It acts as a reminder for people who forget they are unsafe to stand up.

There are two versions or the Arm/Wheelchair Lap Cushion available:

Curved – With a curved cut-out section for the stomach
Straight – Without a curved cut-out section

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

Originally designed for wheelchairs, it also fits on some hospital armchairs, and can also be used as a lap tray. Some CVA people may rest their hands on top of the cushion. This may help prevent oedema, as an alternative to a gutter armrest.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

If the straight version is a little too close to a person’s body, the cover can be removed and the edge of the foam can be cut to size with an electric carving knife.

If the hook & loop tape is not done up, and the person has the mental and physical ability to remove the Cushion, then this product would not be considered a restraint. However, if the hook & loop tape is attached, the Cushion may be considered a restraint and the proper authorisation for its use should be obtained.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Foam, nylon, hook & loop tape.

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.
