Considerations

The Soft Transfer Belt is similar to the Pelican Handi-Lift/Walk Belt and is used in the same manner. Instead of a hook and loop fastening, the Soft Transfer Belt has a buckle and is suitable when the patient has a large bust or if their body shape requires a narrower belt fastening. This is easily adjusted for size to suit a variety of patients. The soft padded Belt is slip resistant.

The manufacturer recommends that individual instruction should always be obtained from a Backcare Specialist. Check before using this product that a person who is sitting down, can lean forward to a 'Nose Over Toes' position prior to standing up. and that they can weight-bear when standing and assist with the transfer.
