How to use the Locomotor Deluxe Maxi Plus Patient Handling Belt

• Transfer from sitting to standing - Place the belt around the patient’s waist, clip the snap lock buckle into place and pull the webbing strap until firm. The belt has four vertical handholds and three lateral handholds to allow a variety of grips for the nurse/carer. Either one or two nurses/carers can take hold of the hand loops and using approved techniques assist the patient from sitting to standing. Always ensure that the patient can weight-bear.
• For walking - The belt is placed around the patients waist (as above) and the nurse/carer takes hold of the hand loops to steady the patient whilst walking.This leaves the patient’s arms free to hold a stick or frame and does not restrict the patient’s movement.The handling belt is not designed to take a patient’s weight, only to give grip and control for the nurse/carer during a transfer.
• Transfer up the bed - The belt is placed around the patient’s waist (as above), with padded area to the front, and the nurse/carer takes hold of the hand loops and assists the patient back up the bed whilst seated on the slide sheet (sold separately).
