The Chest Harness has a wide body component for increased support of the upper thorax; minimizing the harness ''riding up'' under the arms of the person. Designed for use with BHM Medical sit and stand floor lifts, this harness is to be used for seat to seat transfers, toileting and pericare. The sling allows for removal of lower extremity clothes without removal of the sling.

It can also be used for practice weight bearing and balance for partially dependant people. Persons should have good upper body control to hold themselves up and lean back. The person's arms are positioned outside the sling at all times.
