Slings
6-point Spreader Bar
The 6-point spreader bar uses slings with webbing loops that allow positioning
adjustments to be made by selecting the different coloured loops. The attachment
straps at shoulder level determine the position of the back, ranging from upright
through to semi-reclined and reclined. Similarly, the attachment straps at the legs
determine the approximate degree of flexion at the hip, from around 90° to 45°.
The position achieved by adjusting the loops will depend upon the height and
build of the patient. The rule of thumb is the shorter the shoulder straps the more
upright the client will be.
4-point Positioning Cradle
Alternatively the 4-point positioning cradle uses the Securi3 safety clip system
and adjustment is made by rotating the cradle handle either down or up to obtain
an upright or reclined position for the patient. Both manual and powered cradles
are available.
