Correct positioning of leg supports
for most patients.
For patients with good muscle tone, it
may be better to place the leg supports
closest to the knee.
If the patient sinks down in the sling
and is uncomfortable, the leg supports
should be placed closer to the crotch.
Positioning the leg supports
Padded Case for Shoulder Strap
Prod. No. 3666021
If you have test fitted a HygieneVest on a relatively slender
patient according to the instructions on page 10, but find
the vest is still too loose, try crossing the loop straps once
(above the D-rings), as illustrated, before attaching the loop
straps to the sling bar.
For some patients, e.g. amputees, it may be helpful to pull the
leg support loops inside the crossed loop straps, or through
the metal D-rings, before attaching them to the sling bar. This
prevents the leg supports from sliding forward on the legs.
Helpful hints:
How well the patient sits in the sling is determined by
where
you place the leg supports under the thighs.
For a patient with weak muscles, place the leg supports as close to the crotch as possible so he/she does not sink down in the
sling.
Padded cases are available as an accessory to help relieve
pressure on the front shoulder straps. Padded cases
are equipped with a velcro strip along one side for easy
application.
