Using ReadyBelt

Caregivers can work in pairs or alone, depending on the patient’s needs, since ReadyBelt has several vertical and horizontal handles.
Cross-grips at the back provide support and enable a good working stance (1 and 2).

When two caregivers are assisting, it is appropriate if one caregiver stands on each side, grasping the cross-grips at the back and holding the patient by the hand at the front (3).

ReadyBelt provides good support during transfers between wheelchair and bed (4).
