Using the correct sling for each patient is an
essential element of safe patient handling. In some
cases, medical and physical factors mean that a
patient's comfort and safety can only be assured by
the provision of a correctly fitted sling. Carers also
benefit from fitting the correct sling on a patient as
their work is made easier and there is less chance of
back injury.
Arjo has long experience of making slings with
people in mind.
A powered sling lifter offers the most secure
transfer method for many patient-handling
procedures. However, providing the optimum sling
for the patient and the purpose is vital in order to
ensure safety and comfort. A sling that is the wrong
size or a bad fit for its patient creates discomfort
and increases the risk of injury.
This guide has been produced to provide users of
Arjo slings with the help and information they need
to ensure safe and comfortable transfer of patients,
whether it's from a bed, the floor, a chair or the
toilet.
