General Description / Intended Use

Amputee Sling and Amputee Sling Net

The Human Care Amputee Sling is primarily desig

-

ned for lifting clients who have had one or both 

legs amputated. The sling can also be used for 

people who tend to slide out of slings. 

 

When moving an amputated client, the leg sec

-

tions of the sling are generally overlapped under 

a client’s leg or legs. Combined with the design of 

the sling, this results in a very small opening at the 

bottom. In addition, the sling is tilted backwards 

to further secure the client in the sling.

 

It is also possible to pass the leg sections between 

a client’s legs. The sling can be used with the 

Human Care waist belt 25145/25146.

The Amputee Sling is designed for two- and 

three-point suspension.

 

The Amputee Sling is available in polyester 

(25040) and polyester net (25140). Net slings are 

primarily designed for use in wet environments.

Technical Specifications

It is crucial to use the right size of sling for the 

client. To help differentiate our sizes, they are 

colour coded for quick identification. The colour 

code is found next to the sling’s label in the 

shape of a loop. This loop can also be used to 

properly store or hang the sling.
