Clients with bilateral above knee amputation, or a total hip replacement that rules out leg sections crossing under the thighs, need a sling shaped to hold the pelvis securely without the legs to anchor it. This Arjo sling does that, and the mesh fabric lets water run straight through it.
That makes it the sling for the bathroom. The client can be transferred, showered or bathed and lifted out again in the same sling, so a wet transfer does not turn into two handling events. Mesh dries quickly between uses and washes at hospital laundry temperatures.
Who it suits
Double amputees and post hip replacement clients with limited ability to assist, being transferred by carers using an Arjo passive lifter with a clip spreader bar. The sling is a clip attachment, so confirm the lifter and spreader bar combination before ordering.
