Liko Lift Pants
The starting position for using LiftPants is
the sitting position. The patient leans to
one side to enable the caregiver to posi-
tion LiftPants directly under the seat.
Place LiftPants as far as possible under
the patient, with the marking label face-
down and towards the back of the seat.
Pull the front section of LiftPants up
between the legs, so that the straps
are accessible from the front. Pass the
rear suspension straps through the
appropriate loops on the loop straps
(see page 3).
Hook the rear and front suspen-
sion straps to the sling bar.
The outermost loops are the most
commonly used.
Before the patient is raised from the sitting position:
Ensure that the patient’s feet are placed firmly on the floor
and back as close to their center of gravity as possible, so
that they may bear weight during the raising procedure.
Raise the lift slightly, so that tension is applied to the straps
without the patient’s seat rising from the underlying surface,
while ensuring that strap tension on the upper body is as
comfortable as possible for the patient.
During lifting:
Pull the lift forward in the direction of
the raising motion to enable correct and optimal weight
transfer until the patient is standing fully upright and is
balanced. Lift only high enough to enable the patient to
be raised and still maintain sufficient contact with the
floor.
Before lifting, remember the following!
• The need for one or more caregivers must be determined
from case to case.
• Plan the lift carefully to ensure that it is performed as
safely and conveniently as possible.
• Before lifting, check that the lifting accessory hangs
vertically and can move freely.
• Although Liko’s sling bars are equipped with latches,
particular care must be taken. Before the patient is
lifted from the underlying surface, but after the straps
have been fully extended, make sure the straps are
properly hooked to the sling bar.
• Never lift a patient higher above the underlying
surface than what his/her condition and capabilities
permit.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting
situation.
• Make sure the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney,
etc. are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
• Always work ergonomically.
