The range of bariatric lifting slings has been developed to meet the challenges that can arise in lifting and moving overweight and obese people.
Disposable slings
Single-use slings are ideal for situations where an extra-high hygiene standard is required, due to risks of infection.
The disposable slings are available in both adult and child sizes as well as bariatric care environments.
Turning and handling slings
Handling, positioning and turning slings make a wide range of care procedures easier.
This can be in conjunction with operations, examinations and personal hygiene as well as other situations in which the patient needs to be held in position and supported.
Comfort, dignity
and ease of use
Guldmann lifting slings are designed with a focus on comfort, dignity and ease of use, and can be used with both ceiling hoists and mobile lifters.
The type and size of the lifting sling have a major influence on the quality of the movement of the individual user.
Guldmann has therefore designed a number of special lifting slings that cater for each individual’s needs. These can include, for example, different degrees of body control and muscle strength, the degree of opportunity for active participation, the need for personal disposable slings or other special needs.
