Definitions
- This invention relates to lifting slings for use with invalid hoists, and is particularly but not exclusively concerned with one-piece lifting slings for that purpose.
- Such slings support the back and thighs of a patient, being suspended from the hoist by detachable suspension means such as straps or the like.
- slings are formed from woven, synthetic textile material and are relatively expensive to make.
- the slings are used, inter alia, to transport patients, e.g. to the toilet. Accidents do occur and cross-infection between patients has become a major issue. As a result, some hospitals have banned the use of slings.
- Laundering does not always kill off the organisms which cause infections, particularly when laundering at temperatures which the slings will withstand. As a result, slings have been laundered and, more particularly, dried at temperatures greater than the slings will withstand in an attempt to kill off all infectious organisms and this has resulted in the destruction of slings.
- slings are lost or damaged in transit between place of use and laundry and sufficient slings are needed so that one sling can be put to use while another is being laundered and yet another is in transit between place of use and the laundry.
- a disposable or limited use lifting sling formed of non-woven material.
- slings can be made at a fraction of the cost of slings of woven material and will withstand the forces applied to them. It is, therefore, possible to dedicate slings to individual persons and to dispose of the slings after limited use so as to avoid the risk of cross-infection.
- the slings can be appropriately marked, such as with indelible ink, to ensure they are not used for other persons.
- the slings can be formed by various different techniques including chemical bonding , heat bonding or hydroentangling and are typically formed of polypropylene and/or polyester.
- the non-woven fabric can be rolled to give the appearance of woven material.
- the slings are, preferably, one-piece body support slings which will support the back and thighs of a patient.
- Four point attachment of the suspension means will be required, with two attachment points at the sides of the sling in the shoulder region and two attachment points at the bottom end of the sling.
- the sling advantageously comprises a main portion which supports the body of a person and lower end dependent leg portions which in use respectively extend beneath and upwardly between the thighs of the patient.
- the sling may also have an upper end head-support extension. In this case, the sling may have two further attachment points at the head region or may have one or more reinforcements extending substantially throughout the extension and for a distance beyond a line joining the sling attachment points in the shoulder region of the sling.
- the sling may be provided with darts or may be otherwise shaped so that it conforms more readily to the body shape of a person being lifted. It may also be reinforced and/or padded in regions.
- each sling is clearly marked to identify the patient for whom the sling is intended.
- a one-piece sling 10 comprising a main back portion 11 with lower end dependent leg support portions 12 and an upper end head support extension 13.
- the main portion 11 supports the back and shoulders of a suspended invalid I with the portions 12 respectively extend beneath and up between the thighs ofthe invalid whose head H is supported by the extension 13.
- Short extension tapes 14 providing suspension means are stitched to the main portion 11 in the shoulder regions thereof and suspension tapes 15 are similarly stitched to the ends of the leg support portions 12.
- the sling 10 is made of non-woven polymeric material, typically polypropylene and/or polyester, and it is tailored to conform more closely to the shape of the invalid I and thus provide increased comfort for the latter. To this end, darts 16 are provided in the sling 10.
- the sling 10 is made by heat bonding randomly orientated polymer fibres, but it could be made of drylaid, chemically bonded fabric or of drylaid, spunlace fabric (hydroentangled). This material does breathe but does not pass water and it may be necessary to provide perforations in the sling if it is to be used for lowering invalids into a bath.
- the sling 10 is, preferably, provided with an embossed pattern by rolling to give it the appearance of a woven fabric.
- the sling 10 may be reinforced by an additional layer of fabric in regions where the suspension tapes 14 and 15 are stitched to the sling and the leg portions 12 may have padding between two layers of the non-woven fabric to increase comfort for the invalid.
- slings can be made at a fraction of the cost of woven slings and are intended as disposable or limited use slings which are dedicated to individual persons to avoid the risk of cross-infection.
- the sling may have one or more reinforcements extending substantially throughout the extension 13 and for a distance along the line joining to the points where the extension tapes 14 are stitched to the main portion 11.
- two further suspension tapes may be connected to the head region.
- the sling illustrated in the drawing is used with a hoist 20 having a cantilever lifting arm 21 supporting a sling hanger 22 from which the sling 10 is directly suspended. Only the outer end of the lifting arm 21 is shown, and the hanger 22 is connected to the arm through a forked connection 23.
- the connection 23 is mounted in a bearing 24 providing a vertical pivot axis at the end of the arm 21 and it is pivotally connected to the hanger 22 at points 23 a .
- the arrangement is such that the hanger 22 can turn about the rigid vertical axis at the outer end of the arm 21, with the hanger 22 and the connection 23 turning as one about this vertical axis, and the hanger 22 is pivotable on the connection 23 about a transverse horizontal axis defined by the pivot points 23 a .
- a sling as described herein has been subjected to fifty lifts lifting 250Kg and a further fifty lifts lifting 190Kg and has withstood this test without any sign of weakening
- the seams may be secured, and the suspension tapes attached to the sling, by a soluble thread so that the slings will fall apart if laundering is attempted.
- the invention is not limited to one-piece lifting slings, but may also be applied to other lifting slings. Also, one-piece lifting slings are not always provided with a head extension.
