OR Sling - Upper body

Horizontal sling – for lifting the patient from and moving them onto the operating table

The OR sling is used in combination with the Guldmann Cross Hanger (400 kg/880 lbs) to move the patient’s upper body onto the operating table or to lift it from the operating table in a horizontal position.

The length and design of the sling make it very useful for operative procedures on the lower regions of the patient’s body, such as gynaecological procedures.

The OR sling is used with six lifting straps with snap hooks. The lifting straps with snap hooks can be reused for several OR slings, regardless of size. The lifting straps can easily be removed from the sling to prevent them from getting in the way before and after moving the patient.

Using the OR sling in combination with the ceiling hoist prevents friction and patient skin and tissue shear. The OR sling also prevents unnecessary strain on staff and increases patient safety.

Enabling lifting and moving between the operating table and the stretcher/bed to be performed by two persons only, at a steady and controlled pace.
