2. Use / Placement
The leg belt eases the movement process when lifting or transferring the patient and significantly
supports a secure transfer. The transfer is much better for the carer's back and saver and easier for
the patient.
The leg belt can be extended up to 190 cm by the (50 cm) leg belt
extension. Basically it is even possible by adding further extension parts
to extend to the width desired.
Please verify before using the extension parts if the application is safe
and suitable for the patient by a healthcare professional.
This product is suitable for re-use.
2.1 Use for Lifting the Patient into a Sitting Position in Bed
The leg belt provides proper support for the carer's back and is gentle on the patient during the
movement process while lifting a patient in bed from a supine position. The leg belt is gently placed
around the supine patient's legs below the knee and closed with the Velcro fasteners. Using the head
of the bed for support, the patient is moved into a sitting position. The carer protectively embraces the
patient and takes the leg belt loops into his/her free hand. The carer then uses a gentle, safe pulling
motion toward himself/herself to position the patient into a stable sitting position at the edge of the
bed.
