Assistant Harness

摘要

An assistant harness is provided to help attendants such as caregivers and first responders move patients or victims in a supportive, safe, and dignified manner. The harness has a belt that wraps around a patient's waist, with a first end having a primary buckle and the second end being engaged with the primary buckle to create a loop. To allow patients to be carried, a first leg strap and a second leg strap are provided. When not needed the first and second leg strap are held out of the way by restraining straps. When needed to help lift a patient, the first leg strap and second leg strap can be engaged with corresponding buckles on the front of the belt, effectively creating a seat to support the patient. Handles are positioned on each side of the belt to help attendants assist a patient, including lifting the patient as necessary.
