How it works

Fig 1

Place the Promove behind the seated person and tuck down to the base of the spine. Bring elongated parts to both sides.

Fig 2

Lift each leg in turn, bring one elongated part under both legs and pull handle through to meet matching coloured handle on other side.

Fig 3

Repeat process with other elongated part, taking beneath first part. Grasp both yellow handles together as one and both blue handles together as one. Lift by the four corners using minimum 2-4 operatives.

The Promove comprises of a flat piece of material with a deep V-shape cut away. It has reinforced material along two edges and eight handles that are uniquely linked to provide four lifting points.

Fig. 1 shows the sling as it would look behind a seated person. The upper part supports the back while the lower part passes under the thighs and through to the other side (Fig. 2). When deployed, the Promove forms a bucket shaped seat with lifting points on four corners (Fig. 3). To simplify deployment the handles are colour-coded.

After the incapacitated or disabled person has been moved the device is easily removed from under the person. To move a bariatric individual a minimum of four operatives is required.

Simple to put in place Many hands make light work

Training opportunities

In October 2007 Ruth Lee Ltd, a designer and manufacturer of fire and rescue equipment, launched their bariatric (obese) training dummy. It weighs 28 stone or 180Kg. It is designed for a team of at least 4-6 people to rescue (pictured).

The proportion of the population that are obese is predicted to increase in the UK and across the world and rescue teams must consider how they will deal with casualties of this size; this dummy will enable realistic training to take place. Ruth Lee has worked very hard to achieve a ‘fluidity of movement’ with the weight rather than just producing a heavy ‘lump’, making it very realistic to work with.
