Wheelchair Hip Restraint

Note: The Wheelchair Hip Restraint has been superseded by the:

• Chair Belt for Sliders – Rear Fastening
• Chair Belt for Sliders – Front Fastening

These newer items are more discreet than the Wheelchair Hip Restraint.

To Use

Place the Pad over the Patient’s hips. The hip webbing on both sides goes around the back of the chair. The groin webbing is placed under the chair. Both hip webbings are passed through the most appropriate groin webbing loop, to give a good fit.

The hip webbing is then wound around the lower frame as much as possible, but allowing enough for the double Hook & Loop Tape section to thread through the plastic loop on one side of the hip webbing before fastening. The webbing should be in front of the vertical support frame, so that the Patient cannot push the webbing off the end of the horizontal tilt bar.

Do not neglect good nursing care. Continually monitor Patients to ensure the correct item is being used. If not suitable, worn or defective, contact the manufacturer for advice.
