Slings and Accessories

Slings are the components that come into contact with the patient, cradle him or her in their grasp, gently lift them upward, and comfortably hold them airborne in security and confidence. Just as you found it necessary to conduct a thorough assessment before selecting the most appropriate patient lift hardware, so must you conduct a thorough needs assessment of your patient in order to ensure selection of the most appropriate sling. The reason is simple. "The sling represents 50 percent of the effectiveness of the total lifting solution, and you can’t achieve maximum safe lifting effectiveness without proper sling selection, sizing, and application skills!"
