Vancare 10 Point StretcherSling User Manual

The 10 Point StretcherSling is used in combination with a specially designed slingbar, StretcherBar, for horizontal

lifting. It features ten suspension points, five on each side of the patient, which provide uniform support under the

entire body. The 10 Point Stretcher Sling is designed to meet the need for transferring patients in a supine position.

Vancare, Inc. includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different

types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The slings are available in several different materials and in sizes

from XXS to XXL. All models are safe and very easy to use and are rated for lifting patients weighing up to 300 kg.

The choice of model and material depends on the patient’s needs and the transfer situation.

Visual and mechanical inspection

Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure

that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the

device and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product

must be discarded.

Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.

Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.

Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.

To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the

sling’s back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been tested.

The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system.

Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if you have any

questions.
