Instruction Guide
Mod. 50
This instruction guide is valid for Liko HygieneVest and
Teddy HygieneVest, but in the following text we will only
use the name Liko HygieneVest.
Liko HygieneVest is designed for safe lifting and transfer to
and from the toilet.
In terms of function and safety, the HygieneVest offers
unique advantages and works well in complicated
problem situations where no other alternatives are
appropriate. The HygieneVest has an outer vest section
that surrounds and firmly supports the upper body during
lifting. A generous opening around the seat leaves much
of the lower body free for dressing and undressing during
the actual lifting operation in connection with visits to the
toilet.
Liko HygieneVest is the preferred choice of many patients
because it enables a stable, upright sitting posture.
HygieneVest can also be the best choice for severely
functionally disabled amputees or those who have
problems with spasticity (best choice, Mod. 55).
Even patients with limited torso stability and poor muscle
tone can usually manage lifts with the HygieneVest, and
they find it secure and comfortable.
The HygieneVest is intended for sit-to-sit lifting.
is a warning triangle used for situations which require 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.

Product Description
The sitting posture is almost fully upright, which facilitates
lifts to the toilet and positioning in a wheelchair.
Since the HygieneVest is not placed over the hips, it is
ideal for lifting to and from custom-moulded seats and
close-fitting wheelchairs.
Liko HygieneVest in sizes XXS and XS are made of a Teddy
bear patterned polyester fabric and this is why these
slings are called Teddy HygieneVest. In these sizes, the
leg supports are reinforced and padded with a teddy
bear patterned polyester fabric. Slings in sizes S to XXXL
are made of green polyester and the leg supports are
reinforced and padded with a curduroy fabric.
These material combinations apply to the same sizes in
model 55.

Teddy HygieneVest HighBack, Mod. 55
Liko HygieneVest with HighBack is the right choice for
those who need support to prevent the head from tilting
back. For patients who have problems with spasticity, try
