The Comfort Care Band Sling
The Band Sling is ideal for lifting and supporting limbs whether for changing dressings or performing surgery. In certain circumstances, such as for cooperative users with good upper body strength, trunk control, endurance and cognition, it also can help in turning the user or for elevating a shoulder or hips.
The Band Sling is designed to assist health care staff with the support and positioning of limbs. Providing proper limb support can assist staff with wound dressing, wound
preparation, leg/venous wrapping, foot care, cleaning and a variety of other care related tasks.
The National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses (NAON) recommends that limb lifting be limited to a maximum of 11.1 lbs. The average weight of a 200 lb. patient’s
leg is approx. 35-37 lbs. It is important the sling be applied as to reduce the risk of skin irritation during the application process
