This instruction guide is valid for Liko HygieneSling
and Teddy HygieneSling, but in the following text we
will only use the name Liko HygieneSling.
Liko HygieneSling has been designed to facilitate
dressing and undressing in connection with lifts to
and from the lavatory. Caregivers often experience
HygieneSling, dressing and undressing can be done
during the actual lifting operation, thanks to the large
opening around the seat of the sling.
Experience has shown that HygieneSling can work
perfectly well for patients wearing long trousers or
skirts and tights (pantyhose).
Liko HygieneSling is easy to apply, even if space
around the wheelchair is very limited.
Liko HygieneSling is often the most appropriate alter-
native for patients with a certain degree of stiffness.
Liko HygieneSling in size XS is made of a Teddy bear
patterned knitted polyester fabric and this is why this
"Caution!" triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the "patient" and the person helping them is referred to
as the "caregiver".
Before using lifts and lifting accessories, read the instructions for both the sling and the lift that will
be used. Instruction guides can be downloaded, free of charge, at www.liko.com.

supports are reinforced and padded with a teddy bear
patterned warp-knitted polyester fabric.

safety belt distributes pressure and provides extra
support during the lift. Model 46 is also equipped with
an extra back support.
