How to choose the correct size of Prism Medical Universal Sling ?
Universal slings should be assessed for the proper size by utilizing the point at which the shoulder strap attaches to the sling body. This point should:
- Height: Fall between the deltoid point and the top of the ear.
- Width/Circumference: Fall between the anterior crease of the shoulder (the point at which the deltoid muscle and chest meet) and the centerline of the body.
- The need for head support when using the Universal sling must be determined. The leg straps should also be assessed to determine if there is an appropriate amount of material available to ensure the comfort of the sling.
- Remember to use your best clinical judgment when choosing a sling size that best fits your patient.
- People come in all different shapes and sizes, and two people may weigh the same or be the same height but require different sized slings.
- If the patient weighs over 400lbs, a sling consultation is recommended
