What is the most important bit of information to use this product successfully?
Before attempting to use this product, be sure that you have the ability to support the patient. This is especially necessary if the patient is large or heavy, the caregiver is petite, or the person being transferred requires two people to provide a safe transfer. It is very important to ensure you have the right size vest and it fits securely to the patient by pulling the Velcro flaps to where the vest will not slip during transfer. It is extremely important to follow the proper lifting protocol. The caregiver should properly align the feet of the patient facing outward, then place one foot between the patient’s feet, back straight, and then pull the patient toward the caregiver at a 90° angle so that the upper torso of the patient is directly above the patient’s feet. NEVER PULL THE PATIENT IN A VERTICAL DIRECTION.
