Amputee Sling

Product Description
The Human Care Amputee Sling 25040 is primarily designed for lifting patients who have had one or both legs amputated. The
sling can also be used for people who have a tendency to slide out of slings.
When moving amputees, the leg sections of the sling are generally overlapped under both the patient's legs. This, combined
with the design of the sling, results in a very small opening at the bottom. It is also possible to pass the leg sections between
the patient's legs. The sling can be used with the Human Care waist belt 25145/25146.
The Amputee Sling 25040 is designed for two- and three-point suspension.

Intended use
Lifting the patient from a lying position (leg sections
overlapping)
1. If possible, raise the patient's back
support so that the patient is in a semi-
sitting position. Move the sling down
behind the patient's back until it reaches
the coccyx. Take note of the marking on
the sling (outside up).
Alternative: Lay the patient on his/her side.
Position the sling so that the centre of the
sling lines up with the patient's spine. Roll
the patient over onto his/her other side and
pull the sling through.
2. Pull the leg sections of the sling under
both the patient's legs so that they
overlap. Make sure that the leg sections
are fitted properly. Thread the leg
section lifting straps through the special
straps on the inside and outside of the
sling. Lower the lift to the height of
the patient's stomach. Attach the back
section and leg section lifting straps to
the lift bar. Hold the lift away from the
patient's face with one hand as you raise
it above the patient's head.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
three-point suspension.

3. Pause in this position and check that all
the lifting straps are securely attached to
the hooks.
4. Continue lifting the patient. It may be
necessary to lower the bed slightly. Make
sure that the patient's legs do not slide
out. 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 sitting position (leg sections
overlapping)
1. Pull the sling down behind the patient's
back. Take note of the marking on the
sling (outside up). The bottom edge of the
sling must be behind the patient's coccyx.
