The AmputeeSling can also be used to lift people who are not amputees but who have a tendency to slip out of other similar slings.
The sitting posture is slightly reclined. The leg supports are normally applied parallel to each other under both thighs, but in some cases it may be more appropriate to lift each thigh separately.
Model 75 has a head support.
Sizes Medium and Large are relatively small, i.e. Medium fits a slender person.
