SafetySure Transfer Belt FAQs
What makes the SafetySure Transfer Belt unique?
It features numerous hand grips for various leverage points, an anti-slip interior to prevent movement during transfers, and an easy-to-fasten "fix lock" buckle that allows for adjustments without needing to reopen the belt.
What is the recommended positioning for the Transfer Belt?
Position the belt low on the individual’s waist and tighten it by pulling on the two end pieces. Ensure it is comfortable but secure.
How do I help a patient sit or stand using the Transfer Belt?
Follow the body's natural movement patterns. Both the patient and the caregiver can wear the transfer belt for added support during this process.
Can the Transfer Belt help someone up from the floor?
Yes, the belt is particularly useful for assisting individuals in getting up from the floor. It’s important to use natural motion rather than lifting straight up.
Is the Transfer Belt helpful for transfers between a bed and wheelchair?
Absolutely. The Transfer Belt provides essential support during transfers, whether the patient is sitting or standing.
Can the Transfer Belt be used for car transfers?
Yes, for transfers into a car, it can be combined with a transfer board for ease. Ensure the patient does not sit between the wheelchair and the car seat.
What should I consider when using the Transfer Belt during toileting?
Plan ahead to ensure the safety of both the patient and caregiver. If space is limited, consider using a commode outside the bathroom.
How can the Transfer Belt assist with walking support?
When supporting an ambulatory patient, keep one arm around them for protection. The multiple handles on the belt provide good grips for comfortable support.
How do I protect an ambulatory patient with balance problems?
Hold the individual close to you to prevent slipping. If they start to fall, allow them to slide down along the outside of your leg rather than trying to lift them straight up.
