WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

This sling is suitable for someone who can be safely transferred, using a metal hook type hoist.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Always ensure that the person’s head is on the top of the Pad and it will be supported when lifting in the reclined position. If lifting in a sitting position, the sling will not support the head.

When lowering the person into the chair, ensure that they are sitting comfortably before disconnecting the webbing from the hoist. When the person is correctly placed in the chair, the webbing can be unhooked from the hoist. The surplus sling material can be neatly tucked alongside the person for easy access when needed to lift them out of the chair.

Log roll the person when back in bed to remove the sling. Fold the sling along the stitching when log rolling to remove it. On the back of the sling, there is non-slip Miracle Grip material. This is to hold the sling in place when the person is sitting in the chair, so the material does not slip down behind their back or crease up under their legs and bottom.

After a long time the Miracle Grip will wear down, if the sling is constantly rubbing on the chair when lowering and lifting the person. Pelican can replace the Miracle Grip if this becomes a problem.

Material	Photo	Type	Notes
Standard White		Nylon	This is called a solid material, as it is not a Mesh or Netting material that has holes in the material. The nylon has some slipperiness, to make it easier to slide down behind a patient’s back, when they are sitting in a chair.

Please select the most appropriate material and sling design for the patient, but remember, if the patient’s condition changes, it may be necessary to use a different material and design of sling. See the FAQ tab for more information.
