WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
This product is suitable for individuals who require supervised positioning support while seated and who can be safely supported under appropriate clinical oversight.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Position the pad over the patient’s hips. The hip webbing on both sides is routed around the back of the chair. The groin webbing is positioned under the seat of the chair. The hip straps are then passed through the most appropriate groin webbing loop to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
The hip webbing is then routed around the lower chair frame as appropriate, ensuring sufficient length remains to pass through the plastic loop and fastening on one side. The webbing should be positioned in front of the vertical support frame to prevent displacement during use.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
Fabric, webbing.

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.
