TurningSling is an assistive device for turning patients that is used in combination with a two-point slingbar mounted
on an overhead or mobile lift. It is designed to provide support at the lower spine while allowing the seat to remain
open, thereby facilitating hygiene and dressing. TurningSling has suspension points on each side. TurningSling
is made of a durable disposable fabric, which means that it cannot be laundered and must be discarded when it
becomes soiled or is no longer required by the patient.
SystemRoMedic includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different
types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The choice of model and material depends on the patient's needs
and the transfer situation.
Functional inspection
Visual and mechanical inspection
Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure
that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the
device and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product
must be discarded.
Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the
sling's back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been tested.
The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system.
Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use.
Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
