Liko SupportVest • 7EN160145-04
Place the vest behind the patient’s back with the
product label outwards. The lower edge of the vest
should be in level with the patient’s weist.
The patient’s arms must
always
be held outside
the vest to prevent the vest from sliding up.
Adjust the waist belt gently to the girth of the patient’s
upper body. Fasten the waist belt’s buckle.

Description of Strap Loops Function
The outer vest is equipped with two strap loops: outer
and inner strap loop, for maximum flexibility during use.
Generally, it is recommended that you use the inner
strap loop, so as to achieve a maximum upright position,
and also to make it possible for the patient to reach the
sling bar, in order to be able to participate in the raising.
The outer strap loop is used when the patient’s girth
so requires it, or if the patient is short in relation to the
height of the sling bar hooks on a Sabina.
In cases where the inner strap loop is used, we recom-
mend that you also connect the outer strap loop to the
sling bar hook in order to have better visual control of
the straps.
