Hill-Rom Liko AmputeeSling 70 Instruction Manual

Liko™ AmputeeSling, Mod. 70, 75
Instruction Guide
Liko AmputeeSling is a safe, easy-to-use sling that has
been specially designed as an aid to lifting patients with
high double-sided leg amputations. We also recommend
AmputeeSling for patients who are not amputees, but who
tend to slide out of similar types of slings. AmputeeSling
may be appropriate for other patients, such as single-sided
amputees.
The leg supports are normally overlapped under both thighs.
The guide loops on the side of the sling assure correct
positioning of the leg supports and help to prevent the
opening for the seat from widening, thus providing added
security during lifting.
A correctly fitted and carefully applied AmputeeSling ensures
a high degree of comfort and a feeling of security for the
patient.
AmputeeSling Mod. 70 provides support for the entire back,
all the way up to the neck. Model 75 has a head support.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the "patient" and the person helping them is referred to as
the "caregiver".
"Caution!" triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
Before using lifts and lifting accessories, read the instructions for both the sling and the lift that will be used.

Product Description

Mod. 75
The arms are held inside the sling. For large patients or
people who are particularly sensitive to pressure around
the shoulders, we recommend a combination with Universal
Slingbar 600.
AmputeeSling Mod. 70 is available in different materials.
Since the patient does not normally remain in the
AmputeeSling after the transfer, we recommend a polyester
sling. This material is very durable and is easy to work with,
due to its low friction, which makes the sling easy to apply
and easy to remove. This modell is also available in net
polyester in cases where the sling is to be left in the chair
after lifting, or simply when you want a ventilated alternative.
AmputeeSling Mod. 75 is available in polyester.
Both models have reinforced leg supports which distributes
pressure evenly and prevents the sling from creasing under
the thighs.
AmputeeSling can be applied and removed in either the
seated or horizontal positions.
