ApplicAtion
instructions
• Monitor per facility policy to ensure that
the patient cannot slide down, or fall off
the chair seat and become suspended
(fig. 7).
• There is a risk of chest compression or suffocation, if the
patient’s body weight is suspended off the chair seat. Use
extreme caution with chair cushions. If a cushion dislodges,
straps may loosen and allow the patient to slide off the
seat (fig. 7).
• STOP USE AT ONCE: if the patient has a
tendency to slide forward or down in the device; or is able
to self-release.
• Monitor skin conditions in the groin area frequently. If
the patient slides down or forward, pelvic straps may
damage the skin.
1. Lay the pelvic holder on the chair,
with the narrow side to the back of
the chair. The label will be face down
in the seat (fig. 1). To assist with
application, bunch the wider end
together (fig. 2).
2. Bring the ends of the connecting
straps on the narrow end, down
between the seat and the wheelchair
sides (fig. 3).
3. Criss-cross the straps and use quick-
release ties to attach the straps to
the opposite side kick spurs, out of
the patient’s reach (fig. 4).
4. Position the patient as far back in the
seat as possible, with the buttocks
against the back of the chair.
5. Bring the wide part of the pelvic
holder up between the patient’s legs.
6. Bring the ends of the connecting
straps on the wide end, down
between the seat and wheelchair
sides at a 45-degree angle (fig. 5).
Before use, check device for damage. Discard if you
have any questions about patient safety.
