Soft Bed Belt

The Soft Bed Belt is used to restrain someone in bed. It has a soft padded section that is placed across the Patient's waist. When the Patient is lying down, the belt will automatically gently tighten around them to prevent them from moving too far. Padded Leg Straps can be added as extra security to prevent the belt from moving up the Patient's body.

Key Features

• Soft padded section for comfort.
• Automatically tightens to prevent excessive movement.
• Optional padded Leg Straps for added security.

Additional Information

To use, the webbing on the left of the padding should be put behind the Patient's back and threaded through the webbing loop sewn onto the right side webbing. The webbing on the right should also go behind the Patient's back and be threaded through the webbing loop sewn onto the left side webbing. Ensure the webbing is flat against the Patient's back to avoid pressure problems. When attending to the Patient during the night, test that the belt is still comfortable around them. Have the bed rails raised when using this item.

If this product is purchased for use in a private home, we require authorisation from a suitable person to ensure it will be used correctly and safely. This letter is not required when sending restraints to aged care facilities or hospitals, as their staff are already trained in their safe use.

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.

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. 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. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment.
