• Assisting and aiding a person out of bed, into a sitting position on the edge of the bed.
• Assisting to stop a person from falling backwards when sitting on the edge of the bed.
• Assisting a fallen person to a seated position on the floor.

• Assisting to provide a ‘Prompt’ for a Dementia Client, encouraging them to stand up.
• Assisting clients to sit down, in a safe controlled manor.
• Assisting clients to Hip Hitch backwards in a chair.

The Strap Assist can be used by a single care giver, or two, making it a versatile product for any healthcare professional to have in their pack. as well as protecting and helping the patient to be comfortable in a maneuver, the Strap Assist protects the caregiver from increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

With multiple handles available on the product, for both the healthcare professional and the client, everyone involved feels more secure when used.

The Strap Assist is very useful for people providing support to clients who have limited strength or independence and can’t use such product like the Webbing Rope Ladder.

Fully washable, we suggest machine washing the Strap Assist from time to time to maintain good hygiene and ensure infection control.
