Please refer to the sling-sizing guide tape, which
can be used as a guide to which sling to use f
or which patient. See page 11for full instructions.
The measuring tape has centimetres and Inches on
it and is colour coded to represent to colour of the
sling needed for the patient.
Arjos standard sling range is now available in 8
sizes. Extra sizes have been added to lessen the gap
between each size and provide customers with
greater choice and better fit. (fig a)
Arjo standing and raising aid slings are available in
4 sizes (fig b).
All Arjo slings are tested to a maximum weight of
200kg or 440lbs.
This patient sling size guide is only an
approximation, other factors which must be
considered when selecting the appropriate sling
are:
• Patient's distribution of body weight, i.e. hips,
thighs, upper body.
• Patient's height, torso length.
• Patient's physical condition, i.e. amputee.
•Note: IF THE PATIENTS WEIGHT
FALLS INTO TWO SIZES OR THERE IS
ANY DOUBT ON CHOOSING THE
RIGHT SIZE SLINGS, ALWAYS GO FOR
A SMALLER SIZE.
