Product Description
UltraSling supports the entire back up to the shoulders. Its
design allows each leg support to be connected to the sling
bar individually. This allows more room for the stomach, and
optimal support for the legs.
We recommend that at least two caregivers assist during the
transfer.
Suitable lifts:
UltraSling is used with the Liko UltraTwin lift system. Depending
on which accessories are used, the system will lift a maximum
load of 500 kg (1100 lbs.). The UltraTwin system is available for
permanent installation and for freestanding installation, e.g.,
on Liko FreeSpan system.
