Description
The Handicare FlexiGrip 6090 is a bed ladder with eight padded red handles. A person in bed pulls hand over hand from lying to sitting and can hold it while sitting on the bed edge.
What does it do and how does it work?
- The 175 cm (69 in) ladder lies along the mattress, and the end loop anchors around the foot of the bed.
- Eight padded handles give a grip at different heights as the person pulls up.
- The red handles stand out against the bedding.
- It is made of wide nylon webbing and rated 150 kg (330 lbs).
- The extension strap 6091 adds 120 cm (47.2 in) for a longer bed.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a person with enough arm and core strength to pull themselves up, who finds getting up in bed difficult.
- For standing practice and rehabilitation beside the bed.
- It is not a lift; a person who cannot pull needs a patient lift and a sling.
Will it fit?
- Length is 175 cm (69 in) and width 9 cm (3.5 in); it is one size.
- Loop the end around the foot of the bed, and check that the frame takes the loop.
- The extension strap 6091 is for a bed where 175 cm does not reach.
Using it day to day
- Pull each handle before use and check the webbing and stitching.
- Retire it if the webbing is torn or a handle is damaged.
- It is easy to clean and thin enough to stay on the bed. Do not use fabric softener, and avoid tumble drying.
What are its limits?
- The rating is 150 kg (330 lbs).
- It is a pull-up aid, not a lifting device.
- It does not replace a bed rail or a lift.
How does it compare?
A patient lift raises a person who cannot pull. A transfer gait belt gives a carer a handhold during a seated or standing move. See slings for the sling range.
