Unit: 1 Count

To Use
1A. Lateral Body Support (Nonelevated) Select the correct height Lateral Body Support for your resident. For small and average size residents, use the 12¾” - high support. For tall residents, use the 14”-high support. NOTE: if your resident is seated on a cushion, you may need to use the higher support.
1B. Elevated-Arm Lateral Support Because of the angle of elevation, this device is available only in a 12¾” height. This height is measured at the lowest point of the incline. Small residents may require a seat cushion when using the Elevated-Arm Lateral Support.
2. Position the Lateral Body Support on the inside of the chair armrest. Place the support on the side of the chair toward which your resident leans. The standard support may be used on either the right or left side of the chair. The elevated arm support must be ordered specifically for right- or left-leaning residents.
3. Secure the tie cords to the chair as shown in the illustration. The method for securing the support to the chair is the same for both versions.
4. Seat resident as far back in the chair as possible and place resident’s arm in the trough. If additional arm stabilization is required, use the hook-and-loop arm strap.
5. Check resident periodically. Reposition as necessary.

Laundering
Synthetic sheepskin and polyester covers are designed to be removed for laundering. Covers may be washed and dried at temperatures up to 180°F (80°C). Bleaching is not recommended. Make certain to remove hook-and-loop arm strap before laundering. Nylon covers may be cleaned with a mild spray-type cleaner and a damp cloth.

Caution
These devices are not restraints! The determination as to the appropriateness of any version of the Lateral Body Support for a particular resident is the responsibility of the facility and its professional and medical staff.
