Increased patient comfort and sense of security
The ComfortSling™ Plus High, model 350/360, provides a comfortable, reclined sitting posture with good back support and adapts to the body’s contours without the need for individual adjustment. Like its predecessor, the Liko® Comfort Highback Sling, the ComfortSling Plus High is a “full sling” that allows the patient to remain in the sling after application and transfer to a wheelchair or other seating. Its enhanced design is wider andlongerwhich are features designed to increase patient comfort.
The sling provides a more reclined posture than the lower ComfortSling Plus, becoming even more semi-recumbent when combined with Sling Cross-Bar 450 or Sidebars and extension loops. This semi-recumbent posture is a good solution when lifting patients who are not allowed unable to bend 90° at the hip.
The ComfortSling is the preferred choice of many amputees and patients who are particularly pain-sensitive, e.g., rheumatic.
