Liko Ultra LiftPants 920 User manual

Product Descripon
Liing very heavy paents requires special techniques and
specially designed li equipment. Liko has developed the
Ultra product series to help li such paents in a safe and
comfortable manner.
The Liko Ultra LiPants sling, when used in accordance with
the informaon for use, gives very heavy paents the chance
to pracce standing and gait training without the risk of falling.
The Liko Ultra LiPants sling aid in safe standing and gait training
for paents with poor balance and poor leg funcon. It is
essenal that the paent is able to bear weight on their legs.
The LiPants allow the paent to move while relieving him/
her of a greater or lesser degree of body weight.
The Liko Ultra LiPants sling are equipped with two hip straps
on either side for more even weight distribuon. There are
two dierent sizes.
Selecng a suitable li
It is recommended that at least two caregivers be present when
transferring a paent.
The Liko Ultra LiPants sling can be used along with Liko’s
overhead or mobile lis. An overhead li can be used by the
paent for unrestricted movement within the li’s liing area.
You can choose between:
- Liko’s UltraTwin system with two li units. The maximum load
is 500 kg (1100 lbs.), depending on which individual products
are included in the assembled li system. The UltraTwin
system is available for both staonary installaon and for
freestanding installaon in the UltraTwin FreeSpan™ system.
- LikoGuard™ L overhead lift for lifting up to 272 kg (600
lbs.) or LikoGuard™ XL overhead li for liing up to 363 kg
(800 lbs.).
- Viking™ XL mobile lift for lifting up to 300 kg (660 lbs.).
May be equipped with arm rest to give extra support during
standing- and gait training

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.
•
The total maximum load for a li system is always determined by the product in the system with the lowest specied
maximum load.
• 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.
• 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.
Incorrect aachment of sling to sling bar may cause severe injury to the paent.

67EN160181 Rev. 7 • 2020 www.hillrom.com
The initial position when using the Liko
Ultra LiftPants sling are the sitting position.

sling can be slid into place under the buocks.
Place the LiPants sling as far under the paent
as possible with the product label facing out
from the back. Make sure that the LiftPants
sling are centered and in a good posion with
as much pant material in back as in front. Adjust
as needed.
Applying the Ultra LiPants
Pull the front section of the
LiPants sling up between the
legs so that the hip straps are
accessible from the front.
Feed the front suspension straps
through the loop straps using the
appropriate loop (see page 8,

Before assisng the paent to his/her feet: Make sure the
paent has a steady foong on the oor to lighten the load during
the raising. Run the li slightly upwards to apply tension to the
suspension straps without liing the buocks, and make sure
that the loop straps are providing adequate support around the
paent’s upper body.
During the liing operaon: Pull the li forward in the direcon
of movement so that weight transfer takes place properly unl
the paent is upright and well-balanced.
When the paent has gained his/her balance
standing, the liing height is adjusted to
provide appropriate relief with help from the
LiPants sling. Gait training can now begin!
Connect the rear suspension straps onto the rear
hooks on the sling bar, or onto the rear sling bar.
Connect the front suspension straps to the front
hooks on the sling bar or to the front sling bar.
The outermost strap loop is the most commonly
used. See page 5-6 for instrucons on how to
aach the sling loops to dierent sling bars.
Fasten the hip strap’s buckles and pull ght. Depending on the size of
the paent, either one or both hip straps may be fastened from the
standing posion.
Alternave applicaon of the Liko Ultra LiPants sling: The paent can be lied in a normal sling and then lowered onto the
LiPants sling placed on a chair or at the edge of the bed. The sling used can be e.g. the Liko UltraSling Mod. 06, Liko Original
HighBack Sling Mod. 200 or Liko So Original HighBack Sling Mod. 26. This applicaon makes it easier if for some reason the
paent cannot lean to the side, or if there is no room to apply the LiPants sling from the side.

Loop Clips
A praccal accessory for indicang the loops that work for a certain person.
This makes it easier for caregivers to choose the right loop when applying the
LiPants sling.
Adjusng the Loop Straps
A smaller person can have the
suspension straps fed through an
inner loop.
A larger person can have the
suspension straps fed through an
outer loop.
The loop straps should be neither too
loose nor too ght around the upper
body. Resistance with comfort is best.
Removing the Ultra LiPants
Loosen the hip straps before lowering the paent down
into a sing posion to avoid undue pressure from the hip
straps.
The paent leans to the side. Seize hold of the outer corner
of the rear part of the LiPants sling. Now fold the LiPants
sling in under itself and pull it away.

prevent contagion.
Choosing the Right Size
Choosing the right size is important for a safe and secure li and for reaching the required li height. Liko Ultra LiPants sling
should reach above waist height but not so high that the loop straps cut into the armpits. Refer to the measurement table
below for guidance. Size XXXL has higher fabric secons and longer hip straps in order to reach around a larger belly.
Do not choose too large size as this can mean that the required li height cannot be achieved.
