Before liing, keep the following points in mind:
• Note that the sling’s geometry changes when you aach Extension Loops to individual strap loops. A change to the sling’s
geometry can aect safety, so be careful during the tesng phase, which is to be conducted by an authorized prescriber.
• Check to make sure that the Extension Loops are correctly aached to the sling / liing accessories before each li. Be
especially aenve aer washing.
• Although the Liko sling bars are equipped with latches, special cauon must be exercised. Before the paent is lied from
the underlying surface, but when the straps are fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling
bar hooks.
• Always work ergonomically. Use the paent’s ability to acvely parcipate in the operaons.
• When the sling is not being used, do not place in direct sun light.
Incorrect aachment of sling to slingbar may cause severe injury to the paent.
Manually turning the paent in bed may cause injuries to the caregiver.

Areas of Use
1. Increasing the distance
between head and slingbar
Extend all the sling’s/liing acces sory’s
strap loops to increase the distance of
the paent’s head from the slingbar.
Note that the longer the extension
loops used, the higher the sling’s
construcon height, which can make a
li to the desired level more dicult.
2. Simplifying connecon
to the slingbar
If the sling’s/liing accessory’s
strap loops do not reach up to the
slingbar – extend all the sling’s
strap loops in order to improve
ease of connecon. Too much
extension can make it dicult to li
the paent to the desired level.
3. More upright sing posion
When you connect the leg supports
on a sling overlapped under both legs,
you may somemes need to extend
the leg support loops to achieve
a more upright sing posion.
4. Less bend in the hip
Extend the sling’s leg support loop to
achieve a more open hip angle. This
can be done on one or the other or
both leg support loops as needed.
5. Adjustment of loop strap length
Extend the sling’s/liing accessory’s
loop straps if they are too short.
The Extension Loop can be aached
to one of the outer loops on the loop
strap as needed.
6. In combinaon with Comfort Sling
Plus/Comfort Sling
When you combine Comfort Sling Plus
Mod. 300/310/350/360 or Comfort
Sling Mod. 30/31/35/36 with Liko Sling
Cross-bars or Side Bars you must always
extend the slings upper strap loops. This
combinaon provides a more reclined
sing posion with less bend in the hip
joint. See the instrucons for use of the
slings.
