Choosing the right sling is of vital importance. This ensures that patient comfort and safety
are adhered to at all times. Harvest Healthcare Ltd recommend that a full risk assessment is
completed by a qualified professional in order to determine that the correct sling and size is
suitable for each individual.
HARVEST SLING RANGE
This size chart is intended as a guide only. Other factors such as patient disabilities, weight
distribution and individual characteristics will also determine the appropriate size sling for your
patient. All of our slings have colour coded binding to help identify the sling size.
GIRTH - For men and children this is the measurement around the
chest, measured just under the arms. For women, this is measured
around the hips.
HEIGHT - In order to achieve the most accurate measurement, this
is best carried out with the patient in a lying position.
