Oxford Standing Harness – XS to L
The Oxford Standing Harness (XS–L) is a versatile and reliable solution for safe patient support during standing, mobilising, and transfer activities. Specially designed to be used in conjunction with standing hoists, this harness provides a secure and ergonomic fit that enhances both patient safety and caregiver confidence. It is suitable for a broad range of body types and is particularly effective in clinical, care home, and community care settings where daily transfers and rehabilitation activities are required.
Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, the Standing Harness ensures robust support while remaining comfortable for the patient. Its padded sections distribute weight evenly across the torso, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort during prolonged use. The design has been engineered to prevent slippage and maintain correct alignment, supporting patients who may have limited mobility or require assistance with standing and weight-bearing activities.
The adjustable straps allow caregivers to customise the fit according to individual patient size and body shape. This ensures not only secure positioning but also facilitates ease of movement and a natural standing posture. Colour-coded adjustment points assist with quick and accurate configuration, minimising setup time and potential errors in busy care environments. By enabling a snug but comfortable fit, the harness promotes confidence in both patients and staff during transfers.
Patient safety is paramount, and the Oxford Standing Harness incorporates multiple design features to support this. The reinforced attachment points ensure stability when connected to standing hoists, while ergonomic strap placement enhances both balance and security. The harness supports a wide weight range, making it suitable for small to large adults and offering flexibility for use across multiple patients without the need for multiple specialised harnesses.
The Standing Harness is also highly practical for caregivers. Its design allows for simple, intuitive application and removal, reducing manual handling strain and potential injury risk. Caregivers can easily position the harness behind a patient, adjust straps quickly, and connect to the hoist, streamlining transfer procedures. The combination of ergonomic design, secure fit, and clear adjustment indicators ensures consistent and safe use across care teams.
Hygiene and maintenance have been carefully considered. The harness can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, allowing for rapid decontamination between uses. While not machine washable, the materials used are robust and resist wear, maintaining durability over repeated applications. Regular inspection of straps and attachment points is recommended to ensure ongoing safety and reliability.
This harness is designed to support a wide spectrum of standing activities, including rehabilitation exercises, partial weight-bearing transfers, and assistance with daily living tasks. Its adaptability ensures that patients receive the appropriate level of support while maintaining as much independence as possible, contributing positively to their mobility and confidence. For patients requiring additional stability, the harness can be used alongside other support aids or under professional supervision.
