ReTurnBelt is used for raising from a seated to a standing position, and for support in the standing position in
combination with the use of ReTurn transfer platform. ReTurnBelt has a more rigid lower section for easy application and
an elastic upper section for a better and more comfortable fit. ReTurnBelt has several gripping alternatives and a locking
strap for extra support and safety in connection with the use of the ReTurn platform.
Check Safety
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to
ensure that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. If there are signs
of wear, the product must be discarded
Mechanical load
Apply pressure to buckles and handles and verify that they will not
open or break under heavy loads.
Always read the user manual
Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Always make sure that you have the right version of the user manual.
The most recent editions of user manuals are available for downloading from our website, www.handicare.com.
Placement of ReTurnBelt
Fit the ReTurnBelt to the user with the elastic section facing
upward and the rigid, lower section downward, as shown in the
illustration on the product label.
Lean the user forward or to one side and guide the lower section
of the belt down towards the 'sit bones' (lowest bony promi-
nences or ischial tuberosities).
Secure the belt with the Velcro straps. The entire length of the
front Velcro strap must be secured to the soft Velcro strap.
The locking strap can be temporarily folded under the edge
of the belt, so that it is accessible when the user has risen to a
standing position. The locking strap is then looped around the
ReTurn for added security while the user is standing.
