Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Bed Back Rest Straps are designed to assist carers when raising and lowering a patient lying in an adjustable hospital bed. They may help reduce the risk of finger strain or injury associated with gripping the small metal lifting handle commonly found on some hospital beds.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
Suitable for carers assisting with the adjustment of a hospital bed back rest using safer manual handling techniques and body weight.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The two short gold straps are lassoed onto the handles located on each side of the bed base. Two carers hold the most appropriate loops based on their height and working position. The long red strap with the non-slip material is lassoed onto the horizontal lifting bar.
When the back rest reaches the required height, the horizontal bar can be lowered into the appropriate ratchet position.
When lowering the back rest, the carers support the weight of the back rest while one carer removes the horizontal bar from the ratchet using the strap, allowing the back rest to be lowered in a controlled manner.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
Nylon webbing.
