Stability in every position

Mobility-impaired patients, patients with uncontrolled movements and  physically weak patients present a daily challenge for nursing staff and physio-therapists. The requirements for patient protection, stabilisation and restraint are often quite similar.

HSO Solutions worked together with de-escalation experts, intensive care  physicians and physiotherapists to develop ThoraXsafe®, a multifunctio-nal, certified thorax belt that fills this gap and is also suited for use in torso  stabilisation. As a supplement to the classic four-point restraint, ThoraXsafe®  helps stabilise your patient’s upper body. The straps are padded and do not put any pressure on the chest or abdominal area. This makes the system suitable not only for the purpose of immobilisation and restraint, but also to stabilise  patients after surgery or in nursing environments.

Versatile applications

• Intensive care - lying in bed
  Treatment & care of intensive care patients | Stabilization immediately after operations
• Nursing care/Physio - edge-of-bed sitting position
  Support for patients and staff during care and physiotherapy treatments
• Mobilisation - sitting in wheel-/ reclining chair
  Seating aid in the pelvic area | Protection against slumping or slipping sideways

Benefits for medical staff

• quick and easy to apply (max. 2 persons needed)
• higher level of safety against uncontrolled patient movements while applying the belt, as the user stands behind the patient
• flexible, non-twisting strap system
• for universal use with all beds and chairs
• Velcro fastening system makes it possible to quickly apply and open the straps
• impossible for patients to sit up or slide down
• various stabilisation possibilities

Benefits for patients

•  soft microfibres prevent straps from cutting into the patient
• reduced pressure on the body
• prevents patient from sliding away while sitting or lying down
• lower risk of injury
