Choosing the right Aspire sling is of vital
importance to ensure patient comfort,
dignity and safety at all times. Not only
is patient weight and size important
when selecting a sling, factors such as
functional ability, the environment and
the task must also be considered.
Aidacare recommends that a risk
assessment is completed by a qualified
healthcare professional to determine
the correct sling and size for each user.

when choosing the most appropriate
sling for your patient.

choose from, you can be assured that

your needs.
When selecting and applying a sling, the following
steps should be considered in every situation:
1. CARRY OUT A RISK ASSESSMENT
3. CHOOSE YOUR SLING FABRIC
5. APPLY YOUR SLING
2. CHOOSE YOUR SLING MODEL
4. CHOOSE YOUR SLING SIZE
