Invacare slings are designed specifically for use with Invac-
are Patient Lifts and made to support the patient during lift
and transfer procedures. Slings attach to the lift with either
adjustable straps or chains (interchangeable). The slings
are reinforced at all points of attachment for safety. The
fabrics used in these slings are of very durable materials
that resist deterioration from exposure to moisture and laun-
dering. This design will accommodate patients of heavy or
light weight with support from the shoulders to the knees.
The contour shape provides comfort during the lift by avoid-
ing the bulk of the excess material between the back and
the seat sections.
Fabric
The fabric has a smooth inner side. The outer side has
binding tape around the pocket.
NOTE: Always place the sling under the patient with
the smooth side next to the body.
Sling fabrics are offered in a choice of two (2)
materials. Polyester fabric is very durable for use and laun-
dering and is preshrunk and dyed a blue color.
Open polyester mesh fabric is an exceptional material that
provides safety and comfort for the patient. The open mesh
weave of the fabric is dyed, preshrunk and durable for use
and laundering. It provides considerable traction to resist
slipping and sliding during use.
NOTE: Laundering should always be done with dark
colors.
WARNING
After each laundering, inspect sling(s) for wear,
tears, and loose stitching.
