A local seamstress or even a drycleaner may be willing to sew up a new pair of straps for you and sew them to the steel bars that the old ones attached too.

I am a C 3/4 quadriplegic and since I left the rehab facility 15 years ago I have been using two straps about 6 inches wide {instead of a sling} whenever I hoyer in and out of my wheelchair. One of them goes behind my shoulders and the other goes under my knees. I want to replace those straps and cannot find them available anywhere. All I can find are slings now and we are used to the straps and would really like to stay with them. Does anybody on here have an idea where I could purchase them or have them made? Thank you in advance for any ideas you I hope everybody has a good weekend.Raymond Kelly
