Do you face the challenge of stabilising patients sitting at the edge of their bed in nursing scenarios or during physiotherapy treatments? ThoraXsafe® stabilises your patient’s upper body and can be used as a lap belt for fall prevention. The easy-to-use lap belt prevents the patient from sliding down or falling over forwards and eliminates the need for a difficult-to-apply pelvic harness.
The simultaneous use of two ThoraXsafe® sets for upper body restraint and as a lap belt is possible and recommended for fall prevention. The way to apply the lap belt in an edge-of-bed sitting position corresponds to the mobilisation of patients in a wheelchair.
The only difference is that you should fasten the Velcro straps to the side rail, directly on the sitting aid, or on another suitable stable place. The sitting aid must be firmly fixed to the bed!
In the edge-of-bed position, the patient can open the belt system independently and so must be supervised at all times.
