UniversalSling provides support for the entire back. The patient’s arms are held inside the sling. A correctly fitted and carefully applied UniversalSling gives the patient a good sense of security and a high degree of comfort.
UniversalSling is easy to apply and remove, and, if the right size is selected, it adapts to the patient's body without individual adjustments.
It is important to choose the correct size to achieve the highest level of comfort and safety. A sling which is too large increases the risk of the patient's sliding out of it, while one which is too small can be tight-fitting in the groin.
The UniversalSling is available in different fabrics:
UniversalSling is ideal for lifting both with separated leg supports and with leg supports overlapped under both thighs.
UniversalSling is available with leg supports in different designs. The most common are reinforced leg supports. The reinforcement provides high comfort, distributes the pressure and prevents the leg supports from creasing under the thighs.
One design has soft-padded leg supports (synthetic sheepskin). This is recommended for especially pressure-sensitive patients.
UniversalSling mod 02 is recommended for transfers where there is difficulty achieving sufficient lifting height. Loop lengths are minimised, and the sitting posture is slightly more reclined than with model 00.
Liko UniversalSling is available in 22 standard versions: see the assortment in the Product List, (under Resources Tab). Other versions can be specially ordered.
