The Leg Lifter for Two Feet is a self-help product to help people to lift their legs on to or off a bed.
Features
- Made from strong vinyl with plastic inside to keep it straight, so the open loop can easily be placed over the feet
- Various hand loop options, so you can use your body weight to help lift the feet
- Wipeable vinyl material to help fight cross-infection (although the vinyl is stitched)
To Use
When sitting on the side of the bed, place the open feet loops over the feet. Lean forward and hold the lowest hand loop possible to make a comfortable lift. Holding your arm straight, lean back, so your body weight will lift the feet off the floor. Some people may use their wrist or forearm if they have difficulty holding the loop with their fingers. These instructions may vary to suit the individual capabilities of the person.
