Hoist and Sling Safety
Check the hoist regularly to ensure that:
- The lifting arm moves smoothly through its full range
- The castors on a mobile hoist move freely
- The brakes are effective when used
- Any emergency stop mechanism works effectively.
The Invacare Universal High Sling is designed to support the users whole body including the shoulders. The sling is compatible with all hoist that use hook & loop spreader bar systems. The all round sling provides the user with comfort as well as unobstructed view.
Typical used for those who have limited control of the head, trunk or hips the sling can be used for seated to seated transfers.
Transfers Support
The sling supports the entire body and head, which during transition provide the customer with convenient, slightly reclined position. This makes the sling suitable for people with limited head, trunk or hip control as well as transfers from and to a lying position. It is also possible to use the High sling without head support to allow further patient movement.
To remove the head support, simply remove the plastic rigidisers to transform the sling
Hoist and sling safety
The chosen hoist and sling must be able to lift your body weight. Consequently, the working load should be displayed on both the sling and the hoist. You must know your weight accurately to select the appropriate equipment.
Check the hoist regularly to ensure that:
- the lifting arm moves smoothly through its full range
- the castors on a mobile hoist move freely
- the brakes are effective when used
- any emergency stop mechanism works effectively.
You must ensure that the battery works well, is charged, and is correctly installed before using a powered hoist. Check any electrical connections and leads to ensure no fraying, breakages etc. Also, check slings for any broken stitching or frayed or broken material. Straps and clips should be secure and in good condition. There shouldn’t be more than a single user using the sling to prevent cross-infection. Always use slings that are compatible with the hoist (this usually means using slings from the same manufacturer).
The hoists and slings should be serviced every six months. This service may be provided by the manufacturer or the supplier or arranged by the local community equipment service if your hoist is supplied through statutory services. A mobile hoist has brakes on the castors. These must not be used to transfer a service user but may be used when storing the hoist. Check that they hold the hoist securely when applied.
