Product Details

Locomotor Mini Padded Patient Handling Belt

The Locomotor Mini Padded Patient Handling Belt is a soft padded handling belt available with or without a non-slip inner lining to help prevent the belt sliding upwards during a transfer (sit to stand or assisted walking) and is designed to help transfer patients from one position to another.

The Locomotor Mini Padded Patient Handling Belt benefits from a series of vertical and lateral handholds allowing a more comfortable grip for the nurse or carer, it allows transfer without having to hold the patient’s clothing or body, which may be uncomfortable and restrict the patient’s movement. 

The Locomotor Mini Padded Patient Handling Belt allows transferring tasks to be carried out such as transfer from sitting to standing position, transfer from one place to another allowing a patient to be steadied whilst walking or can be used in conjunction with a slide sheet to provide a firm grip when sliding a patient back up the bed to a sitting position.

How to use the Locomotor Mini Padded 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 two vertical handholds and two 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.
