Invacare Standing Transfer Vest with Groin Band – Polyester
The Invacare Standing Transfer Vest with Groin Band – Polyester is designed to provide additional safety, stability, and comfort during standing transfers for users who have limited balance or walking ability but can still bear some weight. Unlike traditional slings, this vest is applied securely around the user’s trunk, helping to maintain an upright position while reducing strain for both the user and caregiver. The addition of the groin band offers enhanced support and ensures the vest remains securely in place throughout the transfer process.
Ideal for both clinical and home care settings, this vest is particularly suitable for situations where partial support is required, such as when assisting users in standing, dressing, or toileting. The user’s feet stay firmly on the ground, encouraging engagement of their own leg muscles and helping maintain residual mobility. This active participation promotes a sense of independence and confidence, while reducing the effort needed by caregivers during transfers.
Manufactured from durable polyester fabric, the vest provides excellent strength and resilience while remaining smooth to the touch for user comfort. The solid polyester material glides easily during fitting and removal, ensuring a smooth transfer process. It is also quick-drying and machine washable, making it practical for environments where infection control and hygiene are top priorities. Designed for regular use, the fabric maintains its integrity even after frequent laundering at temperatures of up to 80°C.
The groin band is an integral feature of this model, offering extra stability by preventing the vest from riding up during use. This helps maintain the correct position of the vest, ensuring optimal safety and comfort for the user. It also provides increased support for those requiring a more secure hold, especially during extended standing or toileting tasks. This design enhancement helps caregivers perform transfers more confidently, minimising the risk of slippage or repositioning during movement.
For the caregiver, the Standing Transfer Vest with Groin Band simplifies the handling process, improving efficiency and reducing manual lifting demands. Its ergonomic design and well-placed attachment points allow smooth, controlled lifting motions when used with compatible hoists. This reduces strain on the caregiver’s back and shoulders, contributing to safer and more comfortable working conditions.
This vest can also be used for toileting assistance, providing secure support while allowing sufficient access for hygiene care. The design helps maintain user dignity while streamlining daily care routines. It is available in two sizes – Small and Large – to accommodate a range of users, ensuring a snug, comfortable, and supportive fit. Each vest is clearly marked for quick identification, allowing carers to select the correct size easily.
As part of Invacare’s trusted range of patient handling equipment, this vest meets high standards for safety, comfort, and durability. It is compatible with most standard hoist systems, offering flexibility and practicality across various care environments. Whether used in hospitals, residential facilities, or home care, the Invacare Standing Transfer Vest with Groin Band delivers dependable performance and consistent support for both patient and caregiver.
