Product Description
This instruction guide is valid for Liko HygieneSling with
SafetyBelt, Liko Hygiene SafetySling, and Teddy Hygiene
SafetySling, but in the following text we will only use the
name Liko HygieneSling.
Liko HygieneSling has been designed to facilitate dressing
and undressing in connection with lifts to and from the
lavatory. Caregivers often experience such lifting operations
as heavy and difficult. With HygieneSling, dressing and
undressing can be done during the actual lifting operation,
thanks to the large opening around the seat of the sling.
Experience has shown that HygieneSling can work perfectly
well for patients wearing long trousers or skirts and tights
(pantyhose).
Liko HygieneSling is easy to apply, even if space around the
wheelchair is very limited.
Liko HygieneSling is often the most appropriate alternative
for patients with a certain degree of stiffness.
Liko HygieneSling in size XS is made of a Teddy bear
patterned knitted polyester fabric and this is why this sling
is called Teddy HygieneSling. In this size, the leg supports
are reinforced and padded with a teddy bear patterned
warp-knitted polyester fabric.
Slings in sizes S to XL are
made of green polyester and the
leg supports are reinforced and padded with a curduroy
fabric.
The patient should have relatively good torso and head
stability to be able to sit comfortably and securely in
HygieneSling. For patients with poor muscle tone, it is
recommended to use a smaller size of HygieneSling or
HygieneSling with SafetyBelt, Mod. 45 and 46.
For patients who tend to sink down in the sling, the safety
belt distributes pressure and provides extra support during
the lift. Model 46 is also equipped with an extra back
support.
T
he HygieneSling can be used along with all of Liko’s
overhead and mobile lifts. You can choose between the
overhead lifts LikoGuard™, Likorall™, and Multirall™ or
the mobile lifts Golvo™, Viking™, Uno™, and Liko™ M220/
M230.
