Handicare Band Sling Manual de usuario

The Band Sling is designed to assist health care staff with

the support and positioning of limbs. Providing proper limb

support can assist staff with wound dressing, wound prepa-

ration, leg/venous wrapping, foot care, cleaning and a vari-

ety of other care related tasks.

It has been recommended, by the National Association of

Orthopaedic Nurses (NAON), that limb lifting be limited to a

maximum of 11.1 lbs. The average weight of a 200lb. Pa-

tient leg is approx. 35-37lbs.

It is important the sling be applied as to reduce the risk of

skin irritation, during the application process. Thus it is rec-

ommended that the sling be folded in 1/3 or ½, such that

the strap is folded under the sling. The sling should be in-

serted under the leg/limb in areas of limited leg-bed con-

tact, for example the back of the knee.

Once the sling is in place the folded portion of the leg strap

can be removed gently, avoiding skin contact.

In some cases, due to limb size or technique, it may be

advantageous to utilize two band slings. This may require

the band slings to be moved during the procedure, but

does provide maximal support.

The band sling can also be applied through the standard,

log roll application method.

“Specialty Applications”

Due to the limited amount of material utilized in the con-

struction of the band sling it may be an excellent choice

when turning patients, elevating particular areas of the

body for easier access.

•Placing under the hips may allow a slight elevation of the

hips, into a slight pelvic bridge position.

•The band sling, placed under the shoulder, may allow

elevation of the shoulder/torso for access to the head,

scalp, hair etc.

Specialty Application:

The “Band Sling” system, used for lifting/transferring is not

suitable for all individuals. This method of use, requires

that the client have a great degree of upper body strength,

trunk control, endurance, cooperation and cognition. It is

important that each client be assessed by a registered

health professional prior to the use of this system for lift-

ing and transferring. Assessment of the individual should

be carried out on a regular basis to determine their contin-

ued suitability for the proper sling and transfer method.
