Main Features of the RP215 Chest Belt – Koala Line:

Ergonomic Restraint System

The RP215 Chest Belt is designed to contain and stabilize the patient's torso, preventing sliding or involuntary movements during the use of the wheelchair or comfortable chair. The ergonomic shape of the butterfly harness ensures optimal support, while the polyurethane padding allows for even pressure distribution, reducing the risk of irritation and improving overall comfort.

High-Quality Materials

The belt is made with polyurethane padding, an anatomical and soft material that absorbs friction, keeping the patient comfortable during long periods of use. The outer fabric is made of polyester, a durable and easily washable material that ensures long product life even after numerous uses and washes. This makes the belt particularly suitable for use in care and healthcare environments.

Ease of Positioning and Adjustment

The RP215 Chest Belt is equipped with adjustable straps, allowing the belt to be tailored to the patient's body shape, ensuring a perfect fit. The quick attachment system, with an "X" shaped support, and clip closures allow for rapid and secure positioning. The clip closures not only facilitate attachment but also allow for quick release in case of emergency, enhancing the safety of both the patient and the operator.

Instructions for Use of the RP215 Chest Belt

Initial Positioning: Have the patient sit in the wheelchair or comfortable chair and position the chest harness on the patient's chest, ensuring that the padded part is well centered.
Positioning the Straps: Position the two upper straps so that they go over the back of the backrest. This ensures that the belt remains stable and securely fastened.
Passing the Lower Straps: Also pass the two lower straps alongside the harness, going over the back of the chair or wheelchair for even pressure distribution.
Fastening and Adjustment: Attach the 4 connectors to the "X" connector and secure them with the appropriate snap locks. Then, adjust the length of the straps and the belt to achieve a comfortable but secure fastening for the patient.
Final Check: Ensure that the belt does not exert excessive pressure and that the patient is completely stable, while still being able to breathe and move slightly.
