FlexiBelt Hug Patient Transfer Belt
An updated version of the classic FlexiBelt, the FlexiBelt Hug Patient Transfer Belt features a new, patented design with horizontal handles that slide freely in the loops to make the belt 'hug' onto the user as they wear it. With the FlexiBelt Hug, carers can provide even more support during sit-to-stand transfers, and sitting transfers to bed, toilet, wheelchair or car, without any additional exertion or strain. The new design features a woven label with instructions for use, placed above the lip used to tighten the belt.
More Support Without Extra Effort
With FlexiBelt Hug, carers can provide even more support without using additional effort thanks to its new design. It features horizontal handles that slide freely between loops, making the belt 'hug' onto the user instead of sliding up during transfer situations. This allows caregivers to provide patients with even more support during sit-to-stand transfers and while walking or gait training.
