Clip Sling - Padded Legs by Arjo

The Clip sling-padded legs is used for a range of everyday patient handling activities, such as bed and chair-related transfers. It has additional padding around the leg pieces to provide extra comfort.

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. Many patients may benefit from additional comfort around the legs which a padded sling solution can provide.

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.
