Undivided leg support

Divided leg support

FlexibleSling is pliable and flexible around the body and provides a feeling of security. It is available in three models; one

with divided leg supports, one with undivided leg supports and one with undivided leg supports and commode opening.

FlexibleSling is designed to give a lot of support and to adapt to the shape of the patient's body. After use, it can be left

in the wheelchair, moulded seat or similar.

SystemRoMedic includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different

types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The slings are available in several different materials and in sizes from

XXS to XXL. All models are safe and very easy to use and are rated for lifting patients weighing up to 300 kg. The choice

of model and material depends on the patient's needs and the transfer situation.

Functional inspection

Visual and mechanical inspection

Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure that

seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the device

and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product must be

discarded.

Always read the manual

Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.

Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.

Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.

To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully.

First, apply the sling's back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been

tested.

Note that there may be a risk of the patient tipping forward when a sling with standard (not separate) leg supports is

used.

The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system. Always

check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer

if you have any questions.
