Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

This is a a comfortable, well-padded, high-back Stand-Up Sling with a strong, wide padded safety belt.

We have designed the sling to reduce riding up under the arms, as pressure under the arms can be very painful with some brands of hoists, especially for people with arm or shoulder problems.

If the person does have an arm or shoulder problem, an alternative way of using this sling is to keep the person’s arms inside the sling with the outer lifting band wrapped around the outside of their body. Using the sling in this way depends greatly on the person’s ability to cooperate and weight-bear.

When using a Stand-Up Sling, the person’s shape can alter between sitting and standing. The Stand-Up Sling with Buckle Belt can be adjusted on both sides of the buckle. The advantages of this design are that there is no Hook & Loop Tape that may stick to clothing, and webbing with buckles is generally preferred by Infection Control Departments.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

This sling is suitable for someone who can safely use a Stand-Up type sling.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

When positioning the hoist, try to get the knee pad as close to the person’s knees as possible.

This may involve removing the footplates from wheelchairs. If the knees are firmly against the knee pad, the person will not be forced to slide forward on the chair until their knees touch the pad before standing up.

Likewise, when lowering the person back into a chair, they may not return to a good sitting position if the hoist cannot get close enough to the chair.

When lifting or lowering, keep the brakes applied on both the lifter and the chair.

It may be difficult to position shorter individuals with their bottoms at the back of the chair or onto a bed. We recommend using a Stand-Up Hoist Block.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Nyloon, webbing, plastic.

Important

General Manual Handling Warning: Manual Handling products are designed to assist Carers to help Patients. They will not make the Carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and Patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the Carer or Patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the Patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.
