Arc-Rest (with handgrips):-
Integral Part of the
Lifting mechanism of the lift, the intuitive and
supportive armrests allow patient participation and
comfort during the lifting procedure. (See Fig. 1)
Foot Support:-
For positioning the patient’s feet
when lifting and transporting, it can be removed if
using the
Sara Plus
to lift a patient to their feet prior
to them using a walking aid eg. “Zimmer” etc. To
remove the foot support, raise the Proactive knee
support to its highest position, (note: where
installed, unclip one side of the “Velcro” tie strap
from around the foot support cover and slide the
cover up the knee support column). Position
yourself between the chassis legs and grip both
sides of the foot support, lift up the front half of the
foot support until it just comes into contact with the
foot support bracket (see fig. 6), whilst it is in this
position pivot the rear of the foot support upwards
until the foot support is horizontal. Pull the foot
support towards yourself until it is clear of the
support bracket. Store carefully for future use.
Slide the foot support cover back down into
position and secure using the “Velcro” strap. Re-
adjust the Proactive kneepad to the position
required.
Re-fitting the foot support is achieved by reversing
the above procedure. Note: Ensure the two hooks
on the foot support locate over the top two locating
buttons.
Proactive Pad™:-
This is a reactive lower leg
support Fig. 1 and 7), which enables the patient to
be lifted comfortably and effortlessly. It can be
adjusted vertically for differing lower leg lengths
and is sprung to stay in contact, when the patient’s
legs move radially during the lifting procedure. To
adjust, hold the Proactive Pad
™
with one hand (see
Fig. 7) and slacken the clamping screw knob with
the other hand. When the correct height has been
established re-tighten the knob.
It can be removed from its mount quickly, for
walking practice, simply by lifting upwards, after
the foot support has been removed.
Lower leg Straps:-
An optional accessory used for
ensuring the lower parts of the patient’s legs stay in
close proximity to the Proactive Pad™ for correct
lifting procedure.
The Strap ensures the lower parts of the patient’s
legs stay in close proximity to the Proactive Pad for
correct lifting procedure. The strap is held in
position in relationship to the Proactive Pad by
passing through the guides on the back of the
Proactive Pad then around the patients lower calves
to be finally overlapped and pressed together to join
the “velcro” fastening. (See Fig. 8). Ensure the
strap is firm but comfortable for the patient
.
Adjustable width chassis legs:-
By operating the
appropriate button on either the hand control or
dual control panel on the lift the chassis legs can be
opened to any variable width (See Fig. 9). When
pressure is released from the button, movement will
stop and the chassis legs will remain securely in
position.
