Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Chair/Lap Belt Shoulder Strap is an accessory designed to be used in conjunction with the Pelican Chair Belt or Lap Belt (both sold separately) to provide additional upper-body postural support while seated.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
This product is intended to assist with seated balance in people who require additional postural support when using a lap-type positioning belt. It is not intended to function as a standalone restraint and should always be used in conjunction with an appropriate pelvic positioning device under clinical supervision.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The loops at the ends of the two long straps are attached to the front of the Chair Belt or Lap Belt. The straps may be positioned over the shoulders like braces or crossed over the chest, depending on the user’s postural requirements.
The single long strap with the male buckle is routed down the back of the chair, around one rear leg, across to the opposite rear leg, and then returned upward to connect with the female buckle component. Adjust all straps to achieve a secure but comfortable fit, ensuring the user retains the ability to lean slightly forward without being restricted in an unsafe manner.
Straps may be positioned under clothing if required. This product is generally best suited to low-back chairs.
For users with higher levels of movement or postural need, alternative products such as the Safety Vest Crossover or Posture Pinnie (both sold separately) may be more appropriate.
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.
