The Hammock Sling gives full-body support and is particularly appropriate for amputees.
The LOCOMOTOR SLING RANGE has been designed to be compatible with all hoists with a standard spreader bar configuration. They are not suitable for use with hoists with a wishbone-shaped spreader bar or those that require buckle fastening.
Instructions for use from a seated position:
Sit the patient forward and position the sling so that the base of the sling is under the thighs and the top of the sling around the shoulders. Attach the straps to the spreader bar.
Note: A more upright position for the patient is achieved by keeping the leg straps long and the shoulder straps short. The position may be varied by using the different adjustments on each webbing loop.
Caution: When raising the patient in the hoist ensure that the brakes are off and that the sling straps are securely fitted to the spreader bar.
Instructions for use from a lying position:
Roll the patient onto the sling ensuring that the base of the sling is underneath the thighs and the top of the sling around the shoulders. Proceed as above.
