Liko MultiStrap Instruction Manual

MultiStrap™
Instruction Guide
The MultiStraps are specially developed for versatile applica tions
in healthcare. The MultiStraps are used for lifting and holding parts
of the patient's body to facilitate examination, care and treatment.
The MultiStraps can also be used for turning a patient in bed and
supporting the patient in a lateral position. Instead of performing
these tasks manually, the nursing staff should use the MultiStraps
together with a lift and thereby avoid heavy and harmful strains.
Suitable application areas are for:
- Treatment of wounds, e.g. burns
- Hygiene
- Treatment, e.g. catheterization
- Examination
- Positioning of bedpan
- Dressing/Undressing
- Turning sideways.
The MultiStraps can be used alone or in pairs, e.g. for lifting both
legs of the patient during catheterization.
The MultiStraps are available in different models/widths.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.
is a warning triangle used for situations which require extra care and attention.
IMPORTANT!
Lifting a patient always involves a certain risk. Make sure to read the instruction guide for both the lift and the lifting accessories. It is
important to completely understand the contents of the instruction guide. The equipment should be used by trained staff only. Ensure that
the lifting accessories are suitable for the lift used. Exercise care and caution during use. As caregiver, you are responsible for the patient's
safety. You must be aware of the patient's ability to handle the lifting situation. If anything is unclear, please contact the manufacturer or
supplier. Instruction guides can be downloaded free of charge at www.liko.com.

Product Description

The narrower MultiStraps are often easier to place and give better
access to a larger skin area. Choose a wider MultiStrap for larger
support area and pressure distribution.
The MultiStraps are available in two materials, polyester and
non-woven, both with pressure-equalizing reinforced pads.
The polyester design is durable and user-friendly. The non-woven
design is intended for short-term use and should be discarded when
the product is soiled or when the patient no longer needs it.
For more information about Solo MultiStrap in non-woven fabric,
please contact Liko.
The MultiStraps can be used together with Liko's mobile or
overhead lifts.
The MultiStraps are not intended for lifting and moving a
patient from one location to another. For these applications we
recommend lifting with one of the Liko slings available in many
models.
