Liko UltraSling Mod. 06 User manual

Liing extremely heavy paents demands specially developed
assisve devices and methods. Liko has developed the Ultra
product series to enable caregivers to li heavy paents both
safely and comfortably.
UltraSling supports the enre back right up to the shoulders. Its
design allows each leg support to be connected to the slingbar
individually, allowing more room for the stomach and opmal
support for the legs.
We recommend that at least two caregivers assist during the
transfer.
UltraSling is used in combinaon with Liko’s UltraTwin™ li
system. Depending on which individual accessories are used,
the system will li maximum load of 500 kg (1100 lbs.). Versions
of the UltraTwin system are available for both permanent
installation and for freestanding installation, e.g., on Liko
FreeSpan™ system.

Safety Instrucons
Before liing, keep the following points in mind:
• A responsible person within your organizaon should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers are
needed.
• Ensure that the sling selected meets the paent’s needs with reference to model, size, fabric and design.
• For safety and hygiene reasons, use individual slings.
• Plan the liing operaon so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
• Check that the liing accessory hangs vercally and can move freely.
• 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.
• Make sure the paent is sing securely in the sling before transferring to another locaon.
• Never li a paent higher o the underlying surface than is needed to complete the liing and transfer procedure.
• Never leave a paent unaended during a liing situaon.
• Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the liing/transfer operaon.
• 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.
• It is recommended to remove the sling aer the transfer.
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.

How to Aach a Ultra Sling to a Sling Bar
1. Place the sling behind the paent’s back, with the label facing outward and upward. With the palm of your hand, guide the
lower edge of the sling down to the paent’s tailbone.
2. Place the leg supports alongside the outside of each thigh, so that the fabric of the lower edge of the sling is fully
extended.
3. Push the leg supports under the paent’s legs, with the leg support loops placed under the fabric. When the leg support
fabric reaches the inside of the thighs, pull out the leg support loops. Pull both the inner and outer leg support loops unl
they have the same length.
4. Connect the strap loops to the slingbar. The upper strap loops are hooked to the wide slingbar and the leg support loops
are hooked to the narrower slingbar.
5. Li the paent.
For applicaon of UltraSling in the horizontal posion, we recommend Liko RepoSheet™ Original to avoid the neccesity of log
rolling the paent. For more informaon please contact your Hill-Rom representave.
