Benefits of a Buckle Belt
When using a Stand Up Sling with Buckle Belt, the Patient’s shape can alter between sitting and standing. You can adjust the Buckle Belt on both sides of the Buckle. The advantage of this design is that it is easy to adjust the size without undoing the buckle. There is no Hook & Loop Tape that may stick on to clothing. Webbing and Buckles are preferred by Infection Control Departments to wipe clean.
We have designed the Sling to reduce it from riding up under the arms. The pressure under the arms can be very painful on some brands of hoists, particularly with Patients who have arm or shoulder problems. If the Patient does have an arm or shoulder problem, an alternative way of using this Sling is to keep the patient’s arms inside it with the outer lifting band wrapped around the outside of their body. Using the Stand Up Sling in this way depends greatly on the Patient’s ability to co-operate and weight-bear.
Some Patients may use this Sling upside down. The high back section is useful to help lift the buttocks.
The Stand Up Sling with Buckle Belt can be used with a variety of different manufacturers’ Stand Up Hoists. When ordering, select the correct attachment method:
- Webbing Loops
- Keyhole Plates
- Rope & Balls
- Long Rope & Ball Attachments
* We incorporate special Safety Straps with our Keyhole Plate Slings as an extra safety measure. These may stop the Patient falling to the floor if a Keyhole Plate comes off the stud or breaks, and can prevent a serious accident. Click on the picture for further information.
