SystemRoMedic LimbSling Manual

Manual

Max. load: 300kg/660lbs

LimbSling is designed to comfortably and conveniently assist lifting of a patient's leg or arm, for example, when dressing

sores. The sling is applied by placing it under the limb and connecting the strap loops to the slingbar. This model is

manufactured in disposables.

LimbSling is one of a series of different sling models. The choice of model and material is determined by the patient's

functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.

RoMedic's slings and lifts are part of the SystemRoMedic concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient transfers.

SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers: transfer, repositioning, support and lifting.

Functional inspection

Check the condition and function regularly. LimbSling must not be used if it has been laundered. Check to ensure that

the fabric is not worn, damaged or bleached. If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.

Always read the instructions

Read instructions for all assistive devices used in connection with transfers.

To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, exercise care and caution when using lifting

devices.

The LimbSling is only intended for lifting one arm or one leg at a time.

Before lifting, ensure that the lift straps are correctly connected to the slingbar.
