Application Instructions for Metal Buckle:
- With the Posey label on the outside of the Belt and the Belt around the patient’s waist, pass the metal tip of the Belt through the buckle and over the teeth of the buckle
- Bring tip of Belt across front of buckle and slip it through the other side. Adjust it so it is snug, but not uncomfortable for the patient
- Strap should lay flat across buckle. Tuck excess under the Belt
- Always grasp the transfer belt from underneath
- Test hook and loop adhesion before use, and discard Belt if hook and loop does not hold securely
Washing Instructions:
- Fasten all buckles to minimize damage during wash and dry cycles
- Close hook and loop fasteners before washing to prevent lint build-up
- Use stiff metal brush to clean “hook” material after washing
- During the washing process metal buckles could bend. Do not put buckles through extractors
