SoftLegSupports are padded covers that can be applied to the leg sections of slings with separate leg supports.
SoftLegSupports are used mainly for patients who are sensitive to pressure. They are sold in pairs and are easy for the
caregiver to apply.
SystemRoMedic includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different
types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The slings are available in several different materials and in sizes from
XXS to XXL. All models are safe and very easy to use and are rated for lifting patients weighing up to 300 kg. The choice
of model and material depends on the patient’s needs and the transfer situation.

seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the device
