Using the ArjoHuntleigh Measuring
Tape (4 steps) (Accessory)
The ArjoHuntleigh Measuring Tape is a sizing
accessory only intended as a guide and is an
approximation. Patient width and body proportions
should also be considered when selecting the correct
size of ArjoHuntleigh sling.
1. If possible, the patient should be in a seated
position.
2. Place the point marked A on the measuring tape
over the patient’s coccyx/against seat (position
A
).
(See Fig. 1 ) and (See Fig. 2 )
3. Measure from coccyx/seat (position
A
) to the top
of the head (position
B
)
(See Fig. 1 ).
4. The coloured area on the measuring tape that is
levelled with the top of the patient’s head indicates
the required sling size. If the sling size falls in
between two sizes, it is recommended to select the
smaller size.
(See Fig. 2 )
Sizing Without a Measuring Tape
