Loop in Situ Sling - Padded Legs by Arjo

The Loop in situ sling-padded legs is suitable for everyday patient handling activities, such as bed and chair-related transfers. It may be left under the patient between transfers (if clinical assessment allows).

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 handling equipment such as mechanical lifts with the appropriate sling is a core component of a safe patient handling program.

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 used together with passive lifting devices to transfer patients in a seated/semi-reclined position to and from the bed, chair or wheelchair during care activities and from the floor.

Independent testing indicated that the sling did not interfere with the performance of a typical seated support cushion. This can support clinical decision making when assessing the risk of leaving the slings underneath patients for a period of time between transfers, which can promote efficient workflows and reduce the need for additional patient handling.
