How to Use these Straps to Help Lift a Person?

Lavin Lift Strap Basic Process:

• These straps to help lift a person feature easy to fit multi-size straps lined with medical grade Enthera which wicks away moisture and provide a softer more secure fit.
• When used properly, the straps do the work of safely lifting your loved one in just a few easy steps.
• They are available in three sizes, Medium, Large and Extra Large for Bariatric and/or obese patients.
• The "Basic Process" is what you will need to learn to lift the patients hips to access the buttocks and lower back for cleaning and changing.

Double-Strap/Bariatric Process:

• The Double-Strap Process is intended for larger patients and those with varicose veins or other conditions resulting in extremely sensitive legs.
• Using Reusable Lavin Lift Straps correctly sized to the patient’s thighs and calves, this process distributes the stress points along the leg, thereby avoiding unnecessary discomfort.
• Once the straps are securely fastened, the caregiver positions a lifter over the patient’s thigh, attaches the straps and activates the patient lifter.
• The Double-Strap Process permits a higher lift of the patient’s lower body than the basic single strap process.
• Bariatric patients should only use re-usable Lavin Lift Straps and the double strapping process.

The Limb Suspension Process:

• The Limb Suspension Process for Wound Care and/or Treatments, Catheter Insertion and other processes requiring a caregiver to lift a limb or limbs featuring Lavin Lift Multisize Reusable Straps
• Lavin Lift Straps can be used to suspend limbs during treatment, as well as lifting a patient’s lower body for cleaning, changing and wound care.
• In this process, a caregiver simply attaches an appropriately sized strap to the limb of the patient.
• Then secure the strap to a patient lift.
• Since the Lavin Lift Strap is not a sling but a secure strap, the limb can be raised without danger of slipping.
• Virtually no lifting is required on the part of the caregiver.

Directions for Correct Sizing:

• Measure the circumference of patient’s thigh 5 inches above the knee joint. This will indicate the correct size strap to be used
• If the person to be cleaned or treated has a condition such as obesity, a painful leg or sensitivity in the area surrounding the knee, it may be necessary to use 2 Lavin Lift Straps per leg
• Attain the correct size of this 2nd strap by measuring the circumference of the leg below the knee at the top of the calf
• Note:The medium size straps come with bright orange colored adjustable straps for the buckles. The large comes with blue colored adjustable straps and the extra large comes in the black adjustable straps for the buckles.

How to clean it?

• Machine washable (Gentle Cycle)
• May also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or topical disinfectants intended for use with materials such as cotton and nylon
