These versatile multi-point spreader bars can be used with chain connections or with slings that feature webbing loops, offering broad compatibility across standard patient lifting equipment.
Loop-style slings are the most widely used and allow caregivers to fine-tune patient positioning by selecting different colored loops for the legs and shoulders.
Shoulder attachment straps determine the patientâs upper-body positioningâfrom upright, to semi-reclined, to fully reclinedâensuring optimal support for clinical needs.
Leg straps influence hip flexion angles, typically ranging between 45° and 90°, helping caregivers achieve safe and comfortable lifting postures.
For precise matching of hoists, spreader bars, and slings, consult the official Sling & Hoist Compatibility Guide to ensure maximum safety and proper performance.
The shorter the shoulder straps, the more upright the patient will sitâuse this to fine-tune posture during transfers.
Built specifically for slings that use chains and S-hooks, allowing caregivers to easily adjust positioning by attaching to different chain links.
The red-marked chain link identifies the correct connection point to the cradle, ensuring safe and consistent setup.
The shoulder chain determines the patientâs back angleâranging from upright to semi-reclined to fully reclined.
Adjustments to the leg chains control hip flexion angle, helping caregivers maintain proper positioning and patient comfort.
S-hooks must be inserted through the metal sleeve from the patient side outward to prevent injury and ensure secure sling attachment.
The shorter the shoulder chain, the more upright the patient will sit.
