Important!
The HygieneVest is intended for sit-to-sit transfers. If it is used for lifting from a horizontal position, the shoulder straps
will wear out faster.
The shoulder straps should always be connected last to the sling bar.
Carefully raise the lift. Make sure the pressure is
comfortably distributed around the upper body.
If not, lower the sling and make the appropriate
adjustments. See page
10.
Pull the clothing down as far as possible and lower the
patient to the toilet. Disconnect the leg supports and lower
the clothing further. The vest section can remain around
the upper body for support.
In some cases, it may be easiest to leave the leg supports
connected during visits to the toilet (applies mainly to
female patients).
