Liko HighBack 200 Instructions For Use Manual

Liko Original HighBack Sling, Mod. 200, 210
Instructions for Use

Intended Use

Liko Original HighBack Sling is a basic model which is
designed to adapt to the patient without individual
adjustments and is one of our most used slings.
It provides for a slightly semi-reclined sitting posture and
excellent support for the entire body, which is good for
patients with reduced torso stability. A properly fitted and
carefully applied sling will give the patient an excellent sense
of security, as well as a high degree of comfort.
HighBack Slings of all variants and models are recommended
for most common transfers, for instance:
-Transfers between bed and wheel chair.
-Transfer to and from toilet and bath-tub.
-Transfer for lifting to and from the floor.
The High Back Slings of all models are intended for use in
following environments: Health care, Intensive care, Emergency
ward, Rehabilitation, Habilitation environment and home
healthcare environment.
Sizes
The Original HighBack Sling is available in different sizes. It
is important to choose the correct size in order to achieve
the highest level of comfort and safety. A sling which is too
large increases the risk of the patient sliding out of it, while
one which is too small can cut into the groin and cause
discomfort.
For larger sizes, a combination with a Twin bar 670 or a
SlingGuard 670 Twin can be a good choice.
Fabrics
The Original HighBack Sling is available in different fabrics.
Since the Original HighBack Sling is not usually left under
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.
IMPORTANT!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instructions for use for both the patient
lift and lifting accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instructions for use.
The equipment should only be used by a trained caregiver. To be trained, a caregiver needs to read and understand the
Instructions for Use. Ensure that the lifting accessories are suitable for the lift used. Exercise care and caution during use.
As a caregiver, you are always responsible for the patient's safety. You must be aware of the patient's ability to make it
through the lifting situation. If something is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.

Product Description
the patient after a completed transfer, we recommend the
polyester design. This fabric is durable and has low friction,
making the sling easy to apply and easy to remove.
The Original HighBack Sling is also available in net polyester.
This fabric is recommended when the sling is left in place
after the transfer or when an airier alternative is desired.
For bathing and showering, a plastic-coated net design is
available, which is water permeable and can easily be wiped.
This material dries quickly and does not chill the patient in
the same way as a damp, absorbent fabric would.
The sling's lift straps are always made of durable polyester.
Leg Supports
The Original HighBack Sling is available with leg supports in
different designs. Most common are reinforced leg supports.
The reinforcement provides high comfort, distributes the
pressure and prevents the sling from creasing under the
thighs.
One design has simple fabric without reinforcement in the
leg support, making the sling more pliable and easy to care
for.

The Original HighBack Sling can be used along with all of
Liko overhead and mobile lifts. You can choose between
LikoGuard overhead lift, Likorall overhead lift, and Multirall
