Chair Belt for Sliders - Rear Fastening

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

Key Features

• Fitting: The main lap belt is fitted around the patient and the chair, buckling together at the back.
• Padded Leg Straps: Two padded leg straps are positioned under the patient's legs and wrapped around the chair frame.
• Versatile Use: Long enough for lounge chairs, with options to secure on narrower chairs.
• Safety Monitoring: Patients should always be monitored when wearing any safety item.

Additional Information

If ladies are wearing the belt, it is better for them to be wearing trousers rather than a dress. 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 be another option. This product has the leg strap buckle at the front of the patient, allowing them to be undone which may or may not be beneficial.

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.

Correct Buckle Threading: It is vital that the buckles on this product are correctly fitted. Contact us if you need to order a replacement buckle if one is broken.
