Correct positioning of leg
supports for most patients.
For patients with good muscle tone,
it may be better to place the leg
supports closest to the knee.
If the patient sinks down in the
sling and is uncomfortable, the
leg supports should be placed
closer to the crotch.
Positioning the leg supports
Padded case
Prod. No. 66601
If you have test fitted a HygieneVest on a relatively
slender patient according to the instructions on
page 4, but find the vest is still too loose, try cros
-
sing the loop straps once (above the D-rings), as
illustrated, before attaching the loop straps to
the slingbar.
For some patients, e.g. amputees, it may be helpful
to pull the leg support loops inside the crossed loop
straps, or through the metal D-rings, before attaching
them to the slingbar. This prevents the leg supports
from sliding forward on the legs.
Helpful hints:
How well the patient sits in the sling is determined by
where
you place the leg supports under the thighs.
For a patient with weak muscles, place the leg supports as close to the crotch as possible so he/she does not
sink down in the sling.
Loop Clips
This practical accessory is used to mark the loops
that have been tried out for a certain person.
It makes it easier for the caregivers to choose the
right loop to attach to the slingbar.
Padded cases are available as an accessory to help
relieve pressure on the front shoulder straps.
Padded cases are equipped with a velcro strip along
one side for easy application.
