Shower Belt

The Shower Belt is designed to help position someone on a shower commode. There are two versions available: Standard Beige Vinyl, which is a reinforced plastic material sewn around a soft foam padding, and White Nylon, a breathable nylon material sewn around foam padding to allow any seepage of moisture to fully dry, making it particularly suitable in humid tropical climates.

Key Features

• Standard Beige Vinyl: Reinforced plastic material with soft foam padding.
• White Nylon: Breathable nylon material, ideal for humid conditions.

Additional Information

The belt can be wiped dry between patients and is used on commode chairs, mainly when showering. Place the belt centrally behind the chair and wrap both ends around the frame at the pelvic position on both sides of the chair. The Hook & Loop Tape sections can then be fastened together at the back of the commode chair.

If the patient is able to open the Hook & Loop Tape, use the belt in the opposite way, with the belt across the patient's lap. Then wrap around the frame at the pelvic position and fasten the Hook & Loop Tape together behind the chair.

Important

Only use a Safety Belt or Restraint if all other alternatives have been tried. Ensure Restraint Authorisation has been obtained. Restrained patients should be kept under observation, as their behaviour may alter and another restraint may be more appropriate. Restraints are a prescribed item. The wrong restraint or the correct restraint incorrectly fitted can cause injury or death.

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.
