The Premier Lifting Sling is a full body patient Sling with soft padded split legs and a padded head support. The sizes vary from Small Child to Bariatric size, including the medium wide size for most patients that need extra width around the hips.
A variety of materials are available (see Technical tab).
Note: The head section is designed to hold the head when in the reclined position. If lifting in the sitting upright mode, it is possible to place a pillow behind the patient’s head. This will give extra support.
This is a split leg Sling, but Double Amputees including above the knee amputees, can be lifted safely using the No.1 or No.2 leg loops. As the patient is lifted, they will be in a semi-standing position, with more pressure in the groin and not be slipping backwards out of the Sling, which is a common problem with amputees. The Premier Lifting Sling can also be used in Hammock Style for Double Amputees, depending on where the leg is cut.
