*DO NOT operate your slings until you read and fully understand this

manual.

*DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s

physician, nurse or medical assistant. Use common sense in all lift

procedures. Special care must be taken with people with disabilities

who cannot cooperate while being lifted.

*DO NOT move a person suspended in a sling any distance. Tuffcare’s

Rhino patient lifts or the slings are NOT transport devices. They are

intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another

(such as a bed to a wheelchair). Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

*DO NOT attempt to lift objects with the sling. The sling is designed

solely for transferring patients.

*DO NOT transfer patients over shag or deep pile carpeting, thresholds,

unpaved surfaces, outdoors or any other obstructions that can cause

wheel stoppage and the lifter to tip over.

*DO NOT transfer patients on the lifter to go up or down a deep slop.

*DO NOT lock the rear brakes or block the wheels when lifting patient.

All four wheels must be free to roll and allow the lifter to center itself

beneath the patient.

*DO NOT alter slings, do not add any kind of material (such as a plastic

back incontinence pad or seating cushion) between the patient and sling

material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during

transferring.

*DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity of the slings. (450 lbs

on small, medium, large size and all stand up slings; 600 lbs on extra

large size)

*Adjust the sling properly, position patients so their knees are slightly

above their waist and their weight a centered in the middle.

Safety Precautions

Tuffcare’s Rhino lift slings for handicapped patients fulfill a variety of

needs, ranging from standing assistance to toileting help. According to

the FDA's best practices for patient lift use, users should match a sling to

a patient's specific weight and the right lift type. Patient lifts can be either

manual or electric. They support and transfer patients from one place to

another using a specific type of sling and fabric. Avoid using slings that

show damage, as this may lead to hazards for the patient.

Some factors to consider when choosing slings are:

Patient's weight

Type of patient lift

Cross-contamination (Is laundering an issue?)

Patient's mobility ability

Transport destinations, such as beds, toileting, or water

Tuffcare offers a variety of patient slings to provide comfort and durability.

Just as finding the right patient lift should be a well thought-out decision,

choosing a sling to match relies on knowing what the patient needs.

Tuffcare’s Rhino slings are made with a soft 3 layer polyester fabric and

a polyester mesh type fabric which provides comfort and prevents patient

from sliding while in the sling. The three layer solid polyester have a soft

lining for patient’s sensitive skin, middle padded layer for support and a

tough reinforced outer layer for weight carrying. The mesh type fabric is

fast drying and durable great for bath or shower. Our Tuffcare Rhino

slings are universal and will accommodate any 2, 4 or 6 point spreader

bars from other suppliers.

Positioning the Full Body Sling

The inner side of the fabric is smooth while the outer side has position

strap handle on it.

The top edge of the sling fabric should be slightly above the patientʹs

head. The bottom edge of the sling fabric should then be a few inches

above the back of the patient’s knees. Slings may be ordered at the time

of purchase with a commode opening in the seat section for use over a toilet

or a commode chair.

It's more time consuming to use a full-body style sling than universal

sling but some patients cannot use a universal sling. Patients in a supine

position may not be capable of using a universal sling and may require

use of a full-body type sling. It is indeed a process that requires caregiver

patience.

It is recommended that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation,

transferring from and transferring to procedures. Our equipment will permit

proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the

evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case. Bed

rails may be used to minimize patient movements during sling positioning.

UNIVERSAL TOILETING SLINGS are designed to provide easy access

for toileting along with providing personal hygiene cleaning and adjustment

for clothing when needed. Our universal toileting slings must only be used

when you are transferring a patient that have both full head and neck control

while in a seated position.

- 7 -

Positioning the Universal Sling

The inner side of the fabric is smooth while the outer side has position

strap handle on it.

The shoulder edge of the sling fabric should be slightly below the patientʹs

shoulder. The bottom edge of the commode opening on sling fabric

should then be a few inches above the back of the patient’s hips.

Universal slings are the most effective for transfers and toileting, patients

who can sit up, even if only a little, are best candidates for universal

slings. They are the easiest to use, and the patient is not sitting on the fabric

during use. That makes the procedure of transfer to wheelchair, bed, and

commode easier with a universal style sling.

It is recommended that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation,

transferring from and transferring to procedures. Our equipment will permit

proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the

evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case. Bed

3 Ways to Position a Universal Sling’s Loop Legs

When using the universal sling, the patient’s buttocks do not sit on top of

the fabric. Instead the bottom of the sling’s two U shape thigh support

create loops or packet to support patient’s weight. Choose the correct

positioning of the loop thigh support for the intended purpose.

Divide Leg Open Position: for bathing, toileting, cleaning, changing,

and care delivery is needed.

Divide Leg Crossover Position: the most common position; great for

bathing, toileting, transfer from lying down to seating. crossover straps

provide patients with more security.

Closed Leg Position: for quick transfer from lying down to seating and

vice versa.

Tuffcare’s Rhino Lift Swivel Bars have three hookup points per

side. The middle hookup is used for slings that have three sets of

straps per side or our hip lift strap or slings that use chains or

adjustable straps.

Attaching Slings to Lift

Warning!

Holding or supporting patient’s weight while in sling may cause straps

or hooks to detach from lift.

- 10 -

When connecting sling to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST

be at the back of patient for support. Using long section will leave little

or no support for patient's back. The loops of the sling are color coded

and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it

easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is

sufficient head support when lifting a patient.

Using Color Coded Straps

All Tuffcare’s Rhino slings have

four color coded hanging points on

the straps. Place the straps of the

sling over hooks of the swivel bar.

Match the corresponding colors on

each side of the sling for an even

lift of the patient.

bar. Lift sling mounts onto patient’s arm or leg to perform lift of limb or hip

with just one person. It can gently elevate the lower half of a patient’s body

and give caregivers easy access for cleaning, changing, and care delivery

needs.

Positioning the Hip Lift Sling

Choosing the correct size hip lift sling by measuring the user’s lower

thigh diameter about 4 inches above the knee.

For 2nd pair of lift sling needed measure 4 inches below the knee at the

top of the calf.

Use single hip lift sling when lifting one arm or leg.

Warning!

Always use a pair of hip lift sling to perform hip lift. Use 2 pairs of lift

sling with Bariatics patient or person who has a painful leg or sensitivity

in the area surrounding the knee.

1. With the dark gray anti-slip liner facing up, place the hip lift sling

under the patient’s thigh just above the knee.

2. Wrap around patient’s thigh with the inner layer tightly secured with

the velcro on the outside.

3. Join the two end hanging straps together by locating the yellow strap

at the inner side of the outer loop. Insert the hanging strap on the opposite

side of the sling through the spacing underneath the yellow strap.

- 22 -

When using one hip lift sling to perform arm or limb lifting, do not join

the two hanging straps together. Instead hang the end straps to each end

of the swivel bar hooks to balance the weight evenly.

Attach both of the hanging straps of the left side sling onto the left middle

hookup point of the swivel bar, and the right side sling hanging straps

onto the right side middle hookup point. When 2nd set of hip sling is

needed, use the same middle hookup point for left and right side of the

sling.

Tuffcare’s Rhino Lift Swivel Bars

have three hookup points per side.

The middle hookup is used for

slings that have three sets of straps

per side or our hip lift strap or

slings that use chains or adjustable

straps.

Warning!

Do not move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the

attachment points of the lift. Check that the sling is properly connected

to the attachment points prior to lifting a patient. Attachment points

include swivel bar, straps, S‐hooks and D or O‐rings. If any attachments

are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is elevated

a few inches off the stationary surface and before moving the patient,

check again to make sure that all sling attachments are secure. If any

attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient back onto the

stationary surface and correct this problem ‐ otherwise, injury or damage

may occur.

- 24 -

5. After snapping the bottoms on the hip sling, the top of the color coded

hangers on the hanging straps should line up. Repeat the same process

with the other leg. Mount second pair of hip lift sling below the knee if

necessary.

4. Gently pull the hanging strap all the way through until it stops. The

two black nylon buttons should line up with the other side. Press both

bottoms til they snap together.

Warning!

Tuffcare’s hip lift sling is for lifting of patient’s limb for temporary of

treating or cleaning them. DO NOT use for transporting of patient-

otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

- 25 -

During lifting position, move the lift swivel bar 6 inches ahead the center

of the hip sling. As the patient is being lifted the weight-bearing point will

slowly shift down towards the direction of the knee.

- 26 -

When too much movement on the inner cuffs causing the sling to ride up

towards the knee, try shortening the distance by using the lower hookup

points on the straps to minimize the moving.

Use 2nd pair of slings for larger patients and those with varicose veins or

other conditions resulting in extremely sensitive legs. Using 2 pairs of

slings permits a higher lift of the patient’s lower body compared to the

basic single pair sling process.

Operate the patient lifter to lift the patient’s hips to access the buttocks

and lower back for cleaning and changing.
