The Lift Strap is a multi-use patient transport aid that assists the medical professional in transporting a patient from a seated position to a medical transport device. The Lift Strap provides safe and secure handles for lifting and pivoting a patient. With the Lift Strap, patient retrieval from reduced access environments as in bathrooms or automotive seats can be performed with far less strain on both the patient and medical professional. Each Lift Strap provides four handles for secure grip by gloved or bare hands. It incorporates a 3-buckle design for application in extracting wedged in or floor lift patients. Once elevated, the patient can then be easily carried to a cot or chair for transport. A new patented safety buckle is incorporated that provides a secure strap connection that is comfortable to the patient, cannot be released when under tension, and is rated at 600 pounds for absolute safety in handling the heaviest patients. For heavy patients two Lift Straps can be combined or "paired" to provide an 8- handle transport system. Extension straps are also provided with each Lift Strap that will enable up to 10 paramedics or fire fighters to safely transport bariatric patients. For pinned, wedged, or injured patients the smooth thin buckles can easily be slid under the patient for quick connection, without having to log roll the patient and potentially causing additional harm, and to provide four grip handles to move the patient without having to pull on arms, hands, legs or shoulders.
