Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Chair Belt for Sliders – Rear Fastening helps prevent Patients from sliding down chairs to the floor.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Patient can move their legs freely, twist around and even try to stand up. The Belt should still prevent them from sliding or standing.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The main lap Belt is fitted around the Patient and the chair and buckles together at the back. The two padded leg straps are then positioned under the Patient’s legs, passed through the waist loops, wrapped around the frame of the chair at the pelvic area and then buckled up behind the chair, adjusting to size.

The Belt is long enough to use on lounge chairs. However, on narrower chairs it may be beneficial to wrap the surplus webbing around the frame to shorten the webbing. This helps secure the Belt at the pelvic position on either side of the hips.

If ladies are wearing the Belt, it is better for them to be wearing trousers rather than a dress. Patients should always be monitored when wearing any safety item. If the Belt or leg straps appear to be putting pressure around the Patient, or under the legs, the Patient should be repositioned to relieve this pressure.

The Chair Belt for Sliders – Front Fastening may an another option. This product has the leg strap buckle at the front of the Patient. This allows them to be undone which may or may not be beneficial.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Webbing, Plastic Buckles.

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.

What is the difference between the 412 & the 412R?

The 412 has all buckles at the front within reach of the Patient. The 412R has all buckles at the rear, out of reach of the Patient. The 412R is by far the more popular.
