Hill-Rom Liko MultiStrap Standard Instructions For Use Manual

MultiStrap
Instructions for Use
Intended Use:
The MultiStraps are intended for use in the following
environments: Health care, Intensive care, Emergency ward,
Rehabilitation, Habilitation, and Home healthcare environments.
The MultiStraps are specially developed for versatile applications
in healthcare. The MultiStraps are used for lifting and holding
parts of the patient's body to facilitate examination, care and
treatment. The MultiStraps can also be used for turning a patient
in bed and supporting the patient in a lateral position.
Overview:
Instead of performing these tasks manually, the caregiver should
use the MultiStraps together with a lift and thereby potentially
avoid heavy and harmful strains.
Suitable application areas are for:
- Treatment of wounds, e.g. burns
- Hygiene
- Treatment, e.g. catheterization
- Examination
- Positioning of bedpan
- Dressing/Undressing
- Turning sideways.
The MultiStraps can be used alone or in pairs, e.g. for lifting
both legs of the patient during catheterization.
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
Sizes:
The MultiStraps are available in three widths. The standard
MultiStraps are often easier to place and give better access to a
larger skin area. The wide MultiStraps support a larger area and
distribute pressure more evenly. The ultra MultiStraps support
an even larger area than the wide.
Fabrics:
The MultiStraps are made with woven polyester with reinforced
pads to reduce pressure. The polyester material can be washed
and used with multiple patients.
For information about the Solo MultiStrap for use with a single
patient, contact your Hillrom representative.
Suitable Lifts:
The MultiStraps can be used together with Liko mobile or
overhead lifts.
The MultiStraps are not intended for lifting and moving a
patient from one location to another. For these applications
we recommend lifting with one of the LIKO slings available
in many models.
