RoMedic EasyBelt User manual

Manual no: 00802En Ver. 1 090129
EasyBelt and FlexiBelt are used as support in different transfer situations. They are not to be used as assistive devices for
lifting. The inside of the EasyBelt is lined with nylon, making it easy to launder or wipe clean with disinfectant. FlexiBelt’s
soft inside feels comfortable against the skin. Both materials have an anti-slip function.
EasyBelt and FlexiBelt are part of a series of different transfer assistive devices. The choice of model and material is
determined by the patient’s functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.
RoMedic’s products together form the SystemRoMedic concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient transfers.
SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers: transfer, positioning, support and lifting.

Test clasp function and handles by applying tension to ensure that the product withstands heavy load (page 2).

Caregivers can work in pairs or alone, depending on the patient’s needs,
since EasyBelt/FlexiBelt have several vertical and horizontal handles. Cross-
grips at the back provide support and enable a good working stance (1 and
2).
When two caregivers are assisting, it is appropriate if one caregiver stands
on each side, grasping the cross-grips at the back and holding the patient by
the hand at the front (3).
EasyBelt/FlexiBelt provide good support during transfers between wheel-
chair and bed (4).
