Pulling straps

Even a young and physically fit person experiences significant muscle weakness after spending more than two weeks in bed. This process accelerates with age. At some point, the illness may regress to the extent that the patient no longer has the strength to sit up independently. This situation can be both frustrating for the patient and challenging for their caregiver. So, what can be done when help is needed to get out of bed?

In such cases, pull-up straps prove to be invaluable. They resemble a rope ladder, with one end attached to the bed’s backrest and the other positioned within the patient’s reach. When attempting to stand, the patient can grasp the successive rungs and pull themselves up, thereby supporting their weakened back muscles. Pull-up straps are also useful once the patient has regained the ability to sit up and tries to get out of bed. In this case, the straps should be mounted vertically. The rungs are made of non-slip material, and the ropes are strong enough to support the weight of several people, ensuring safety and reliability.
