ABSTRACT:
A support strap for use in supporting a patient as when seated to prevent slumping of the patient as when the patient becomes drowsy. An elongated strap is employed which is preferably constructed of polyurethane and the like which has a substantial thickness and a width several times that of the thickness in order to afford a degree of yieldability. The opening formed by the strap is deformable but the strap is of sufficient width to prevent the strap from twisting. Since the strap possesses a substantial cross-sectional area, yielding under limited force to a certain extent is permitted while further yielding will be arrested. Lengths of Velcro fastening members are provided on opposite sides adjacent the ends of the strap permitting fastening of the strap about the body and a supporting member with sufficient adjustability to accommodate various sizes of patients to a variety of positions.
