ABSTRACT:
A invention is directed to a method and apparatus for lifing a bedridden person from a bed. The method involves securing a strap to each leg of the person while the person is lying down in a bed; securing each strap to a lift bar of a lifting device; raising the lift bar of the lifting device so as to raise only the lower portion of the person from the bed, thereby permitting a caregiver to clean or change the person. The apparatus includes a lift strap for attachment to a leg of a person. The lift strap has a main support member adapted for positioning above a patient's knee; a wire eye member secured to the main support member and projecting away from the support member; and a fastening member secured to the main support member, for securing the main support member to the patient. The fastening member includes a first strap member secured to one end of the main support member and a buckle member fixed to an opposite end of the main support member.
