Liko SilhouetteSling 22 Instruction Manual

Liko™ SilhouetteSling, Mod. 22
Instruction Guide
Liko SilhouetteSling is a pliable sling which adapts to the
body and requires minimal space in the wheelchair.
It provides for a slightly reclined sitting posture and excellent
support for the entire body, which is good for patients with
reduced head and torso stability. The patient can hold the
arms either outside or inside the sling. The head support is
adjustable.
Design and material make SilhouetteSling particularly
suitable for lifting to moulded seats, since the sling is usually
left in the wheelchair after the lifting operation is completed.
This makes it very popular in care and rehabilitation
situations, where sitting shells and moulded seats are
commonly used.
SilhouetteSling can also be used in bathing and showering
situations.
A properly fitted and carefully applied sling will give the
patient an excellent sense of security, as well as a high
degree of comfort.

In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.
Read the instruction guide for both the sling and the lift being used.

Product Description
Sizes
The SilhouetteSling is available in different sizes. It is important
to choose the correct size in order to achieve the highest level
of comfort and safety. A sling which is too large increases the
risk of the patient sliding out of it, while one which is too small
can cut into the groin and cause discomfort.
Fabrics
SilhouetteSling is made of a comfortable, pliable net polyester
fabric which allows body heat and moisture to pass through.
The sling's lift straps are always made of durable polyester and
are very secure.
