EasyBelt Hug Patient Transfer Belt
An updated version of the classic EasyBelt, the EasyBelt Hug Patient Transfer Belt features a new, patented design with horizontal handles that slide freely in the loops to make it 'hug' onto the user as they wear it. With the EasyBelt Hug, carers can provide even more support during sitting and standing transfers without any additional exertion or strain. The new design also features a woven label with instructions for use, placed above the lip used to tighten the belt.
New and Improved
The new version of the EasyBelt basically does all the work by itself. The horizontal handles slide freely between loops to make the belt 'hug' onto the user instead of sliding up during transfer situations. This allows the caregiver to provide the user with even more support during sit-to-stand transfers and while walking, without the additional effort.
