Manual patient lifting belts and harnesses are wearable assistive devices designed to help healthcare workers or caregivers safely transfer patients or individuals with mobility limitations. They distribute weight across the body to reduce strain on the lifters while enabling secure, two-person lifts between surfaces like beds, chairs, or floors.
These devices are generally reusable and made from durable materials like nylon or canvas. They are not classified by a single regulatory tier but are subject to safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction, often requiring compliance with ergonomic and structural integrity guidelines for patient handling.
