Place the Limb Lifter beneath the lower leg where
it is most appropriate for the care task to be done,
taking care not to place the sling too close to the
ankle joint. Gently pull the Limb Lifter under the
leg, taking care to keep a hand between the sling
fabric and user’s skin, until even amounts of the
sling are positioned either side of the leg.
The spreader bar can now be raised to elevate
the patient’s leg as shown.
NOTE: The Limb Lifter can also be used as an
assistive device to separate a patient’s thighs if the
sling is used in connection with personal hygiene
particularly for bariatric patients.
The Limb Lifter can now be attached to the lift’s
spreader bar in readiness for use.
If the user has very compromised skin integrity
or large user weight, the Limb Lifter can be used
to assist with the application of a lifting sling. The
leg is elevated using the Limb Lifter which allows
the leg strap of the lifting sling to be correctly
positioned underneath the thigh. The same
process can then be used for the opposite leg
as required.
