Highback Plusline

Product Description
Human Care slings in the plus line series are designed for lifting heavier patients. The slings have a high weight capacity and
the sizes are generous. Highback Plusline sling is a model with a high back and it provides good support for the entire body. The
sling has pressure relieving reinforced leg parts and a reinforced head support.
The sling gives a reclined seating position which provides a more balanced weight distribution. The lifting straps at the leg parts
can be applied to a two-, three- or four-point suspension. The four-point suspension provides alongated sitting posture which is
well suited for heavier patients. Material: Polyester mesh, polyester.

Intended use
Lifting the patient from a sitting position
1. Turn the sling so that the label faces upward, away from the patient.
2. Place the sling behind the patient's back. Draw the sling down so that its
lower edge is level with the patient's coccyx. Make sure the sling is centred
over the shoulders and back.
3. Pull the sling's leg parts forward so that they are fully extended.
4. Pull the leg parts up between the patient's legs. Pull the leg part´s lifting
straps to make sure they are the same length. Make sure the leg parts are
not crumpled.
5. Lower the hanger bar to the height of the patient's stomach. Attach the
sling's lifting straps to the hanger bar. Hold the hanger bar away from the
patient's face with one hand as you raise it above the patient's head. See
section "Attachment options for leg support" for different ways of attaching
the sling to the hanger bar.
6. Check that the sling is correctly attached to the hanger bar once the lift
straps are stretched, but before the patient has left the surface.
7. Continue lifting the patient. It is a good idea to put your arm around the
patient while you are moving him/her to create a greater sense of security.
Lifting the patient from a lying position
1. Make sure that the surface, e.g. the bed, is completely level.
2. Lay the patient on his/her side. Position the sling so that the centre of the
sling lines up with the patient's spine. The sling's label should be facing
upward, away from the patient. The lower part of the sling must be level with
the patient's coccyx.
3. Roll the patient over onto his/her other side and pull the sling forward.
4. Lay the patient on his/her back. Make sure the sling is centred over the
shoulders and back. If the bed is height-adjustable, it is a good idea to raise
the head of the bed so that the patient is in a semi-sitting position.
5. Pull the leg parts forward between the patient's legs. Pull the leg part´s lifting
straps to make sure they are the same length. Make sure the leg parts are not
crumpled.
6. Lower the hanger bar to the height of the patient's stomach. Attach the sling's
lifting straps to the hanger bar. Hold the hanger bar away from the patient's
face with one hand as you raise it above the patient's head. See section
"Attachment options for leg support" for different ways of attaching the sling
to the hanger bar.
7. Check that the sling is correctly attached to the hanger bar once the belt is
stretched, but before the patient is fully suspended.
8. Continue lifting the patient. It may be necessary to lower the bed slightly.
Raise the patient's legs slightly while turning him/her away from the bed. It is
a good idea to put your arm around the patient while you are moving him/her
to create a greater sense of security.

Attachment options for leg support
The sling's leg support can be attached to the hanger bar or lift in several ways
in order to achieve a variety of leg positions. NB: An individual assessment of the
patient's needs must always be carried out before choosing an attachment method.
1. The lifting straps of the leg parts are
pulled up between the patient's legs,
crossed over and attached to the hanger
bar or lift. See figure 1. This keeps the
legs together, reducing the risk of the
patient sliding out of the sling. This
method is suitable for hanger bars or lifts
that allow 2-point suspension or 4-point
suspension.
2. The lifting straps of the leg parts are
pulled up between the patient's legs
and attached to the hanger bar or lift
without being crossed. See figure 2.
This allows space for the stomach and
provides proper support for the legs. This
method is suitable for hanger bars or lifts
that allow 2-point suspension or 4-point
suspension.
3. The lifting straps of the leg parts are
pulled up between the patient's legs and
attached to a shared hook on the hanger
bar or lift without being crossed. See
figure 3 below. This reduces the pressure
on the thighs. This method is suitable
for hanger bars or lifts that allow 3-point
suspension.
4. The leg parts are overlapped under the
patient's thighs and the lifting straps are
attached to the hanger bar or lift. See
figure 4 below. This provides a narrower
opening underneath the patient and
reduces the risk of him or her sliding out.
It is suitable for patients with amputated
legs, for example.
