Product Description
The Liko Hygiene Sling is designed in order to assist
with dressing and undressing when lifting to and from
the toilet, these are lifting situations that are often
difficult for caregivers. Thanks to the large opening
around the buttocks, dressing and undressing can
be performed during the lifting procedure itself.
The Hygiene Sling is easy to apply even if the patient
is placed tightly in the wheelchair. The patient’s arms
should always be on the outside of the Hygiene Sling
to ensure safety.
The Hygiene Sling usually works well for patients
with long trousers and for patients wearing skirts and
leggings.
It is necessary to have good body stability to sit well in
the Hygiene Sling. It is often quite suitable for patients
with a certain body stiffness. Mod. 41 differs from
Mod. 40 in that it is equipped with a belt. A correctly
applied belt and the arms placed outside the sling,
protects the patient from sliding out of the sling.
All sizes are manufactured in single-tone green polyester
with reinforced, corduroy-lined leg support. Size XS also
comes in a softly warp-knitted polyester fabric with a
teddy bear pattern, and is therefore called Teddy Hygiene
Sling, Mod. 41.
For people with compromised balance, or where the
user needs one arm placed on the inside of the sling,
we recommend Liko Hygiene Sling with Safety belt
Mod. 45 or 46. These models have a safety belt that
holds and lifts the patient by the upper body if he/she
sinks too low during the lifting procedure.
Alternative for patients with poor muscle tone
For lifts to/from the toilet for patients with poor muscle
tone (and need more upper body support), we
recommend the Liko HygieneVest Mod. 50 or 55.
Model 55 is equipped with built-in head support.
The patient’s arms must be kept outside Hygiene
Sling Mod. 40 and 41 during the lifting procedure in
order to avoid the risk of sliding out of the sling.
