recommended by the individual's doctor, nurse

of the individual being lifted.

specifically designed to be used in conjunction
with Invacare patient lifts.

instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for
wear, tear, and loose stitching.

are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard

WARNING!
Risk of Injury
Improperly attached or adjusted slings can cause
the patient to fall or cause injury to assistants.
– Be sure to check the sling attachments each
time the sling is removed and replaced, to
ensure that it is properly attached before the
patient is removed from a stationary object
(bed, chair or commode).
– DO NOT use any kind of plastic back
incontinence pad or seating cushion between
patient and sling material that may cause the
patient to slide out of the sling during transfer.
– Position the patient in the sling as directed by
the instructions provided with the sling.
– Adjustments for patient safety and comfort
should be made before moving the patient.
The loops of the sling may be equipped with color coded
straps providing different length, to place the patient in
various positions. Match the corresponding colors on each
side of the sling for an even lift of the patient.
