Product Description
Sizes
Solo HighBack Sling provides support for the entire body, and
gives a slightly reclined sitting posture, which is appropriate for
patients with poor torso stability. For larger sizes of the sling,
a combination with a twin bar 670 can be the perfect choice.
Solo HighBack Sling is recommended for lifting to and from the
bed, wheelchair or toilet.
It is important to choose the right size to ensure optimal comfort
and safety. A patient may be at risk of sliding out of a sling which
is too large, while a sling that is too small may be tight in the
crotch and cause discomfort.
Suitable lifts
The Solo HighBack Sling can be used with all Liko overhead
and mobile lifts. You can choose between LikoGuard overhead
lift, Likorall overhead lift, and Multirall overhead lift or Golvo
mobile lift, Viking mobile lift, Uno mobile lift, and Liko M220/
M230 mobile lift.
