Instructions for Use
Intended Use:
Liko Hygiene Sling (Mod 41) is designed in order to assist with
dressing and undressing when lifting to and from the toilet.
It is intended for use in following environments: Health care,
Intensive care, Emergency ward, Rehabilitation, Habilitation
and Home healthcare environment.
The Liko HygieneSling is designed to assist with dressing
and undressing when lifting to and from the toilet, these
are lifting situations that are often difficult for caregivers.
Thanks to the large opening around the buttocks, dressing
and undressing can be performed during the lifting procedure
itself. The HygieneSling is easy to apply even if the patient is
placed tightly in the wheelchair. The patient's arms should
always be on the outside of the HygieneSling to ensure safety.
The HygieneSling usually works well for patients with long
trousers and for patients wearing skirts and leggings.
It is necessary to have good body stability to sit well in the
HygieneSling. It is often quite suitable for patients with a
certain body stiffness. Mod. 41 is equipped with a belt. A
correctly applied belt and the arms placed outside the sling,
protects the patient from sliding out of the sling.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient, and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.

lift and lifting accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instructions for use.

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.

For someone with poor muscle tone, they should be placed high up toward the groin so that the patient does not sit too low in the sling. Patients with poor muscle tone usually sit better in a smaller HygieneSling size.
