Bariatric/Plus Size Aids for Dignity and Respect
Our bariatric/plus size or range for bariatric patients can be used to move, assist and aid obese or morbidly overweight individuals with their everyday tasks such as dressing and washing.
Hospital Direct’s Fisherman’s Legs enable seriously overweight, obese or bariatric people who need carer assistance with dressing to retain their dignity and the Pro Dress Assist Pack is available in sizes that will fit all sized adults.
To use the in-bed dressing aid for obese people, place the yellow slide sheet underneath the patient/client. Next, slide the two “leg” sleeves over the plus size person’s legs so you can then easily slide their trousers or skirt on. Use the arm sleeve in the same way to slide on shirts, blouses and jumpers.
A Cleaning Solution Like No Other
Hospital Direct also offers products that provide care to morbidly obese patients who have a large abdominal pannus that contributes to poor hygiene and standards of cleanliness.
Suitable for all bariatric patients, Hospital Direct’s Octopannus can be used at home to support the obese person’s pannus and limbs, assisting the carer or healthcare professional with providing personal cleaning and care.
Simple to insert and reposition, the Octopannus device also helps with catheterisation and probing of obese or bariatric patients that may be needed when they are in community care settings.
For carers, the Octopannus also eliminates the need to reach over the patient or bed, reducing the risk of them acquiring musculoskeletal injuries, as well as requiring minimal training in learning how to use the device and maintain the highest hygiene standards for the obese person.
