Multi Sling

Product description
The Human Care Multi Sling 25105 consists of five different parts and can be used for a number of different purposes,
including: exercise, personal hygiene, dressing and undressing and moving.
The Multi Sling (25105) consists of:
25106 Chest belt

Use the chest belt as a support during walking and balance exercises and when visiting the toilet and dressing or undressing
the patient. Combine the chest belt with the groin support for additional support and safety. When working with people with

two-, three- and four-point suspension.

Intended use
The Multi Sling has four lifting straps: two at the front and two at the back of the
chest belt. The pictures show two-point suspension, but the Multi Sling is also
approved for three- and four-point suspension. Please note that patients must
have partial use of their legs in order to be able to use the Multi Sling.
Personal hygiene, dressing and undressing
1. Start by passing the elasticated waist belt
through the loops inside the chest belt.
Put the belt round the patient's waist and
tighten the waist belt. Fasten the chest
belt. You can do this when the patient
is lying down or sitting. The more you
tighten the waist belt, the better the sling
will sit in place when lifting the patient.
2. Attach the rear lifting straps to the lift
bar. When you start lifting the patient,
he/she will begin leaning forward slightly.
The process is easier if the patient can
hold on to something for stability and to
enable him/her to help with the lifting
process. Most often it is enough to lift
the patient between 10 and 30 cm to
dress or undress him/her. Make sure that
the patient is stable while being lifted.
3. Because all four straps are being used,
the patient will be in a more upright
position. Please note that the more
weight that is supported by the lifting
straps, the greater the risk that the chest
belt will slide up.

Exercise
1. Start by passing the elasticated waist belt
through the loops inside the chest belt.
Put the belt round the patient's waist and
tighten the waist belt. Fasten the chest
belt. You can do this when the patient
is lying down or sitting. The more you
tighten the waist belt, the better the sling
will sit in place when lifting the patient.
2. The chest belt can be used separately
for support during walking, standing and
balance exercises.
3. For increased safety, the groin support
can be attached to the chest belt. The
groin support also keeps the chest belt in
place and prevents it from sliding up.
4. When working with people with serious
functional impairments, for example
stroke victims, the hip belt can be used
with the chest belt. This is designed to
put equal pressure on both hip joints.
The aim is to achieve a better balance
and distribute the patient's weight more
evenly.
