SECTION 5-ONE-PIECE CONTOUR SLINGS 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 materials 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. Part No 1024492 19 Portable Patient Lift and Sling
