Liko 91 Manual

Liko SupportVest is a comfortable sit-to-stand vest

that is easy to use and requires relatively little indivi-

dual adjustment. It is suitable for patients who require

a lot of assistance in standing, but are capable of

standing steadily on their own once they are up.

The SupportVest lifts around the back and under the

arms. The inside is lined with corduroy, which pre-

vents the vest from sliding up on the body.

The Liko SupportVest is mainly intended for use in

combination with the Sabina sit-to-stand lift with the

350 Slingbar (narrow).

In combination with Sabina, the SupportVest form

a functional unit. For complete information and best

results, read the instruction guides for both products.

Sizes

The Liko SupportVest is available in different sizes.

It is important to choose the correct size in order to

achieve the highest level of comfort and safety.

Waist Belt

The SupportVest is equipped with a waist belt that

keeps the vest in place around the upper body during

application.

Padding

For a softer surface that distributes pressure more

evenly the SupportVest is equipped with a padding

liner of synthetic sheepskin. The vest can be used

with or without the padding, since the padding is

secured with a zipper and can be removed. Extra

paddings are available for replacement.

one or both of the strap guides, see illustration.

The waist belt on the SupportVest is intended to hold

the vest in place around the patient, initially during

raising to an upright position.

During raising, the upper body always tends to become

somewhat narrower, causing the waist belt to slacken

and hang loose around the upper body. This is a natural

tendency and does not affect raising in any way.

If the waist belt is once again tightened after the

patient is raised to an upright position, remember to

slacken the tension before lowering the patient to

prevent excessive pressure on the waist belt when

the upper body expands.

Description of Waist Belt Function

The waist belt on the SupportVest is intended to hold the vest in place around the patient, but it is not intended to

be used lifting the patient or securing the patient in the vest. If the patient requires a waist belt for safety reasons,

we recommend changing to Liko SafetyVest or Liko ComfortVest.

The outer vest is equipped with two strap loops: outer

Generally, it is recommended that you use the inner

strap loop, so as to achieve a maximum upright position,

and also to make it possible for the patient to reach the

sling bar, in order to be able to participate in the raising.

so requires it, or if the patient is short in relation to the

height of the sling bar hooks on a Sabina.

In cases where the inner strap loop is used, we recom-

mend that you also connect the outer strap loop to the

sling bar hook in order to have better visual control of

the straps.

back somewhat, to compensate for weak muscles in

the lower body. This facilitates standing, enhances

comfort and prevents the vest from sliding upward.

Raising: Operate the lift by pressing the up and

down buttons (two possible speeds). If possible, the

patient should be encouraged to participate actively

by grasping the sling bar and pull themselves up.

Tip: Note that it is easier for the patient to rise from

a seated to a standing position if he or she is sitting

relatively upright; i.e., the hip joints are at the same

level as, or preferably higher than, the knee joints.
