About the Shower Belt
The belt can be wiped dry between patients.
The Shower Belt is used on commode chairs, mainly when showering. Place the belt centrally behind the chair and wrap both ends around the frame at the pelvic position on both sides of the chair. The Hook & Loop Tape sections can then be fastened together at the back of the commode chair.
If the patient is able to open the Hook & Loop Tape, use the belt in the opposite way, with the belt across the patient’s lap.Then wrap around the frame at the pelvic position and fasten the Hook & Loop Tape together behind the chair.
Also consider the Shower Belt Shoulder Strap to provide extra help to nursing staff when patients are slippery and wet whilst being washed. Staff should be available at all times to monitor their use.
