Slings
Safety Instrucons
• Check that the client is sing securely in the
sling before starng to li him/her.
• Check that the li is balanced when moving,
raising and/or lowering the client. If you
are using a Human Care li with telescopic
hanger bar, it is important that the bar hooks
are in the same posion on both sides.
• Our slings have been designed and tested
for indoor use with one client at a me and
must only be used for transferring a person.
This product is not a swing.
• Make sure no sharp objects are in contact
with the sling.
IncorrectCorrect
The process of liing and moving a person
always involves risks. Therefore, you must read
the user manuals for the li and the liing
equipment carefully. Always make sure that
the liing equipment you are using is intended
for use with the li. As a care provider, you are
responsible for the client’s safety and you must
know whether the client will be able to cope
with the liing process. The sling must be ed
to meet the client’s specic needs. If you are in
any doubt, please contact the supplier.
• Carry out a careful visual inspecon of the
sling every me you use it.
• Check that the right sling is being used for
the client. The model, size and material must
meet the client’s needs.
• Plan the moving and liing process so that it
is as safe as possible.
• Before raising the client, check that the sling
is correctly aached to the li/hanger bar
once the li straps are stretched.
• It is important that the hooks of the hanger
bar are in the correct posion, with the
opening of the hook facing upwards on both
sides to securely hold the straps in place.
Recheck the posion of the hooks once the
li straps are stretched.
• It is important to always check that the loops
are at the boom of all hooks (see pictures)
and securely placed below the locking pin on
all hooks.

General Descripon / Intended Use
Basic Sling
Our Basic sling is a comfortable sling without
reinforcements, handles or padding in the back.
The sling adapts to the client and oers good
support for the enre back. The Basic sling
can be used in most liing situaons, ts most
clients and is a good choice if it is not establis-
hed who is going to be using the sling. The Basic
sling is oered in thin polyester net (25045) and
our unique So Air Mesh fabric (25054). Both
materials allow moisture and heat to transfer
eciently from the client. This allows the sling
to be le in the wheel chair etc. aer the trans-
fer is completed. The So Air Mesh material
is a high fricon material that reduces the risk
of sliding during liing and sing. It also has
unique ame-retardant properes.
If the slings are not required to be le with the
client aer liing the Basic sling in our dura-
ble polyester fabric (25070) is recommended.
The low fricon polyester material allows easy
applicaon of the sling and is easy to clean.
Basic sling has padded leg parts, except from
So Air Mesh m. 25054. The Basic sling oers
an upright sing posion that is suitable for
clients with reduced trunk stability but without
the need for extra head support.
Low Basic Sling Polyester (25072) and Low
Basic Sling Polyester net (25047)
Our Low Basic Sling is a good soluon for users
who have torso stability and upper body con-
trol. The design is similar with the Basic Sling,
however it has a shorter back support. The Low
Basic Sling provides support from the tailbone
up under the arms and under the legs. The
arms can be kept inside, but are mostly kept
outside of the sling. It is a perfect sling for a
more acve user.
The Basic sling is designed for two-, three- and
four-point suspension.
Sit Sling and Bath Sling
Our Sit Sling is primarily designed for moving
clients between a bed and a wheelchair or for
similar purposes. The sling is stable and has a
reinforced back support with two removable
plasc slats. The client sits in an upright posion
which makes it easier to transfer him/her to a
wheelchair, for example. The sling can be used
with the Human Care waist belt 25145/25146.
Our Bath Sling is like the Sit Sling. It is made
of net and is primarily designed for use in the
bath or shower. The back is reinforced with two
removable plasc slats. The waist belt cannot
be used with this sling.
High Basic Sling Polyester (25032) and
High Basic Sling Polyester Net (25037)
Our High Basic Sling is designed for situaons
requiring extra support and can even be used
for liing from a lying posion on the oor.
The High Basic Sling provides support from
the tailbone up over the head and under the
legs, which is ideal for users who need a lot of
support.
The Sit Sling and Bath Sling are designed for
two-, three- and four-point suspension. The
slings can be used with or without the
removable plasc slats.

Technical Specicaons
It is crucial to use the right size of sling for the
client. To help dierenate our sizes, they are
colour coded for quick idencaon. The colour
code is found next to the sling’s label in the
shape of a loop. This loop can also be used to
properly store or hang the sling. Basic/Sit/Bath Sling

Suspension Alternaves
Our slings are designed with the premise that
all people are dierent with varying liing
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 opons are displayed.
2-point suspension
Suitable for most liing situaons providing a good
seang posion. 2-point suspension is available with
oor lis, xed and portable ceiling lis.
Two-point suspension with crossed leg support:
Thread the strap on one leg secon through the strap
on the other leg secon before aaching them to the
hanger bar.
Two-point suspension with overlapping leg support:
This method is suitable for liing clients with
amputated legs, for example. Extension straps can
be aached to the liing straps to prevent the client
from leaning too far back in the seated posion.
Two-point suspension with separate leg support:
Put the client’s legs in each leg secon and aach the
liing 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
alternave connecon method.

Slings
Compability
Human Care Group slings are designed for use
with all Human Care lis and hanger bars. The
products are also compable with products of
other suppliers ulizing the same aachment
method for securing slings to a hanger bar and
li. However, due to the wide range of products
worldwide, Human Care cannot be responsible
for any errors that may result from improper
use or applicaon of combinaons of slings,
hanger bars and lis of other suppliers. The use
of the combined system is at the prescriber’s
own risk and liability.
To ensure the safety of the client and caregiver,
Human Care recommends the following mini-
mum requirements:
1. When using slings with lis and hang-
er bars, made by manufacturers other
than Human Care, the combined system
needs to be designed with the same sling
aachment method for the hanger bar of
oor lis and ceiling lis, meaning loop
style slings are combined with a loop style
hanger bar, clip style slings are combined
with a clip style hanger bar.
2. The involved paent lis and slings must
be CE marked in accordance with Direcve
93/42/EEC or Regulaon 2017/745 and
comply with standard requirements for
paent lis as stated in EN ISO 10535.
3. The caregiver must follow the manufactu-
rer’s instrucon manuals and recommen-
daons with respect to the use, care,
client, caregiver, cleaning, and inspecon
of the slings and lis.
4. Dierent products on the assembled li
system: i.e., li, hanger bar, sling, scale and
other accessories may have dierent max.
loads. It is always the lowest maximum
allowable load indicated for the respecve
products and the system that applies for
the enre system.
Always check the markings on all individual
products in the system.
5. Individual risk assessment, including a
praccal test of the system and validaon
with the specic combinaon used are
required to arm that the size of the sling
is correct for the intended use and compa-
ble to the width and design of the hanger
bar. The combined system needs to be
documented by the competent assessor.
If there are any quesons, please contact your
local Human Care oce or distributor.

Sling Applicaon
Liing the client from a lying posion
1. Stand to the side of client and turn the
client to his/her side. Posion the sling so
that the centre of the sling lines up with
the client’s spine. Take note of the marking
on the sling “This way out, back”. The
boom part of the sling must be directly
under the client’s coccyx.
Lay the client on his/her back. If the bed is
height-adjustable, it is a good idea to raise
the head of the bed so that the client is in
a semi-sing posion.
Roll the client over onto his/her other side
and pull the sling through.
Move the sling down behind the client’s
back unl it reaches the coccyx.
2. Bend the knee and pull the leg secons
through between the client’s legs. Lower
the li to the height of the client’s sto-
mach. When a three-point suspension is
used, you should thread the le leg secon
through the loop on the outside of the
right leg secon. Aach the leg secon
liing straps to the leg hooks on the li.
Aach the back secon liing straps to the
li. Hold the li away from the client’s face
with one hand as you raise it above the
client’s head.
Alternave: The sling can also be used for
two- or four-point suspension. In these ca-
ses, the loop on the right leg secon is not
used. Instead the leg secons are crossed.
3. Pause in this posion and check that all
the liing straps are securely aached to
the hooks.

4. Connue liing the client. It may be
necessary to lower the bed slightly. Raise
the client’s legs slightly while turning him/
her away from the bed. It is a good idea to
put your arm around the client while you
are moving him/her to create a greater
sense of security.
5. Put the leg secons between the client’s
knees. Turn the client towards you and
fold the sling in, under the client, so that
the fabric slides towards you when you
pull it out aer you have turned back the
client.
Liing the client from a sing posion
1. Pull the sling down behind the client’s
back. Take note of the marking on the sling
“This way out, back”. The boom edge
of the sling must be behind the client’s
coccyx.
2. Pull the leg secons through to the front.
Pull the leg secons up between the
client’s legs. Lower the li to the height of
the client’s stomach. When a three-point
suspension is used, you should thread the
le leg secon through the loop on the
outside of the right leg secon. Aach the
leg secon liing straps to the leg hooks
on the li. Aach the back secon liing
straps to the li. Hold the li away from
the client’s face with one hand as you raise
it above the client’s head.
Alternave: The sling can also be used for
two- or four-point suspension. In these ca-
ses the loop on the right leg secon is not
used. Instead the leg secons are crossed.

the client’s back.
Troubleshoong
Descripon Acon
The client is at risk of sliding out • The sling may be too large.
• The sling is not correctly ed - the length of the loops should be
stretched at the same me.
The client is unbalanced when lied • The instrucons on the individual test log have not been followed or a
new assessment needs to be carried out.
The sling is too small • This can be uncomfortable for the client. The sling can cut into the
client’s esh and/or his/her back may not have enough support.
Note: It is important that the right sling is used for each client and that it is individually tested to
ensure that it meets the client’s need and the transfer situaon.
