Raising a person with active lifting using Sabina sit-to-stand lift with the Comfort SlingBar
1.
Place the ComfortVest around the patient according to
the vest’s instruction guide.
Place Sabina sit-to-stand
lift in front of the patient. Adjust the width of the base.
Place the feet in the middle of the foot rest with the
lower legs parallel to the lower-leg support. Adjust the
height and depth of the lower-leg support as needed for
comfortable support below the kneecap.
2. Connect the vest’s straps to the sling bar’s hooks.
If applicable
: tighten the calf strap.
3. Raise the sling bar about 10–20 cm (4-8 in).
The patient grabs the sling bar. Continue the lifting
procedure. If the patient leans backwards, the raising
will be made easier, preventing the vest from sliding up.
The height to which the lift should proceed varies from
person to person.
Before the patient is lifted from the underlying
surface, but after the straps have been fully extended,
make sure the straps are properly connected to the
sling bar.
4. For a more
upright position
, continue the lifting motion
to the uppermost position. The raising motion can be
experienced as unpleasant for the person not used to
it. Remember that Sabina II EE sit-to-stand lift has two
different speeds. For maximum comfort, the lift mast
should be affixed to the base in the best possible of the
three fastening holes. See page 6.
For this sling bar, we recommend Liko ComfortVest mod. 95. This combination is suitable for people who are especially
sensitive to pressure under the arms, such as people who are paralyzed on one side. The ComfortVest is designed to lift
behind the back and on the outside of the arms. The Comfort SlingBar can also, to a limited extent, be used with Liko
SafetyVest mod. 93 and 94, especially for larger patients. Below is a description of how to use ComfortVest mod. 95. See the
instruction guide for the respective sit-to-stand vest for more information.
