ReTurnBelt
SystemRoMedic
TM
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 up-
per 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.
SystemRoMedic is a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of assistive devices depends on
the transfer situation and the patient's functional capability and needs.
Functional inspection
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive de-
vice regularly. Always inspect the product after launder-
ing. 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.
Functional testing
Pull hard on the handles in different
directions.
Fasten the belt, place one foot in it, and
then pull on one of the handles. Repeat
the procedure with all handles.

Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during
a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
Placement of ReTurnBelt
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 patient has risen to a standing position. The locking
strap is then looped around the ReTurn for added security while the patient is
standing.
English
Fit the ReTurnBelt to the
patient with the elastic section
facing upward and the rigid,
lower section downward, as
shown in the illustration on the
product label.
Lean the patient forward or
to one side and guide the
lower section of the belt down
towards the 'sit bones' (low-
est bony prominences or
ischial tuberosities).
