Donning a Patient Harness
CAUTION: Inspect the harness prior to use. Do not use if the harness straps are torn, if there is
separation in the harness stitching, or if the Velcro is unable to adhere. Contact Bioness or your local
distributor to order a replacement harness.
1. Detach all Velcro attachments to open the vest.
2. Make sure the patient is in a secured position.
3. Have the patient put their arms through the shoulder straps to put on the vest. The open side of
the vest will face the front.
4. Secure the lower abdominal support first by attaching the Velcro. Make sure the support is as
tight as possible.
5. Next secure the upper abdominal support by attaching the Velcro. Note: This is the middle
support with the netting material on the back.
6. Securely attach the top torso support.
