Suspension Alternatives
Human Care is an ISO 13485:2012 certified
company.
This sling has been tested in accordance with
ISO 10535.
The sling is CE marked in accordance with the
Medical Devices Directive for Class 1 products
(MDD 93/42/EEL). The CE mark is on the sling
itself.
Our slings are designed with the premise that
all people are different with varying lifting
requirements, needs or desires.
To make all our clients feel as comfortable as
possible in our slings, most of them can be used
with 2 or 3-point suspensions. Some slings can
also be used with a 4-point suspension. Below
the options are displayed.
2-point suspension
Suitable for most lifting situations providing a good
seating position. 2-point suspension is available with
floor lifts, fixed and portable ceiling lifts.
Two-point suspension with crossed leg support:
Thread the strap on one leg section through the strap
on the other leg section before attaching them to the
hanger bar.
Two-point suspension with overlapping leg support:
This method is suitable for lifting clients with
amputated legs, for example. Extension straps can
be attached to the lifting straps to prevent the client
from leaning too far back in the seated position.
Two-point suspension with separate leg support:
Put the client’s legs in each leg section and attach the
lifting straps to the hanger bar. Note: This method
increases the risk of the client sliding out of the sling
An individual assessment of the client’s needs
must always be carried out before choosing an
alternative connection method.
