SECTION 5—ONE-PIECE CONTOUR
SLINGS
Slings Using Chains, O-rings and D-rings
ƽ WARNING
Invacare slings are designed specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts and made
to support the patient during lift and transfer procedures. Slings attach to the lift
with either 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 materi-
als that resist deterioration from exposure to moisture and laundering. 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 avoiding the
bulk of excess material between the back and 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 materials. Canvas fabric is very durable for use
and laundering and is preshrunk and dyed a BLUE color.
NOTE: Laundering should always be done with dark colors.
Open mesh nylon fabric is an exceptional material that provides safety and comfort for
the patient. The open mesh weave of the fabric is dyed BLUE, preshrunk, and durable for
use and laundering. It provides considerable traction to resist slipping and sliding during
use.
Body
Slings may be ordered at the time of purchase with a commode opening in the seat section
for use over a commode or a commode chair.
Each sling includes four metal support bars that have a hole at the center to attach the
S-hook.
When shipped from the factory, these reinforcing metal support bars are enclosed in the
sling pocket with the hole exposed.
