Important

Note: Always have the Patient’s arms outside the Top Lift Band. Protect the Patient’s face from hitting the hoist while fitting the Lifting Bands and during the lift. Practise the lift with other staff to gain experience and confidence before lifting the Patient. Fasten the Hook & Loop Tape when not in use or washing. This Sling may not be suitable for some Patients, due to pressure under the arms, or they may slip off the Bottom Thigh Band. The Bosun Chair Sling and the Access Sling are alternative dressing Slings that may be safer to use for most Patients.

Warning: Inspect slings before every use. If any damage is found the Sling must be withdrawn from service and repaired, if possible.

Disposal: When the Sling is ready for disposal, we suggest the Lifting Straps are cut off, so it cannot be used with another Patient.
