Sara Flex wipeable standing sling

The Sara Flex wipeable standing sling in conjunction with the lift enables a single caregiver to assist a patient or resident from a seated to a standing position, in one natural movement. Completely wipeable with no stitching, it can be wiped between patients or residents. The sling design helps to reduce the cross-contamination risks associated with shared patient handling devices with no laundering requirement.

Residents and patients in care environments gain important physical and psychological benefits when their mobility is maintained. Choosing the right mechanical aid is crucial for maintaining mobility of the resident/patient and at the same time reducing physical overload for the caregiver. That is why an active transfer with a standing and raising aid is recommended for patients/residents who could support their weight on at least one leg and have sufficient muscle strength in the upper and lower body.

The sling is an essential part of the Sara Flex standing and raising aid. In conjunction with the lift, it enables semi-active residents and patients to be raised up from a bed, chair, toilet, wheelchair or hygiene device for transfer and short distance transportation. It can also be used for early mobilisation and rehabilitation activities.

Design benefits of this sling;
- Completely wipeable - Avoid the laundry process, i.e. no lost or missing slings, the sling is always available. The body, the straps and attachment points of the sling are made of non-porous material and hence completely wipeable
- Welded seams - No stitching on the seams of the sling is designed to reduce potential of fluid ingress and contamination of the sling
- Smooth patient contact surface - The inside of the sling in contact with the patient, is free from seams, straps and other components, designed to create a smooth surface towards the patient’s body
- The belt is fixed to the sling - The belt and sling are attached to prevent the two being separated and the belt from being lost
- Colour-coded sizes - All slings are size colour-coded for ease when choosing the right sling. The dual clips on the attachment strap make it easy to adjust the strap length to ensure the right fit and the anti-slip fabric in contact with the back of the patient/resident helps to keep the sling in the right position.

This sling should only be used together with Arjo standing and raising aids in accordance with the allowed combinations page on the specified section of the Instructions for Use.
