Full-Body Disposable Slings
The Disposable clip sling is used for a range of everyday patient handling activities, such as bed and chair-related transfers. It is designed to accompany a patient throughout the hospital stay and can be used in exactly the same way as standard clip slings but it cannot be laundered.
Selecting the most appropriate sling is important to ensure that it is suitable for the patient/resident, for the type of transfer required and compatible with the lift being used. The use of patient/resident handling equipment such as mechanical lifts with the appropriate sling is a core component of safe patient handling programs.
This sling is intended for assisted transfer of passive patients/residents with limited ability to move and require full support during transfer.
The sling is to be used with passive lifting devices to transfer patients in a seated/semi-reclined position to and from bed, chair, wheelchair or hygiene device during care activities and from the floor.
As single-patient use, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination and can easily be disposed of if soiled, damaged or suspected of being contaminated. Always on hand for the caregivers, disposable slings do not need to be sent away for laundering; so there’s no need to worry about lost or damaged slings.
The clip slings are used in combination with DPS (Dynamic Positioning System) spreader bar, a system that allows the caregiver to position the resident or patient in the sling – from upright to reclined without needing to do so manually, helping to reduce physical caregiver effort.
This sling should only be used together with Arjo passive lift systems (clip attachment) in accordance with the allowed combinations page on the specified section of the Instructions for Use. |
