The Safety Vest Shoulder Strap is used to help prevent patients from falling forward when sitting. It is a simple webbing strap and is easy to fit.
Secure the Safety Vest Shoulder Strap around behind the patient’s shoulders by passing it through the two loops provided on the Safety Vest. The buckle is then done up behind the chair.
Other products to help prevent patients sliding off chairs are the Chair Belt for Sliders and Chair Belt for Sliders – Rear Fastening (both sold separately).
