Description
Item 45690006 is the medium disposable Handicare Thorax Sling. Savaria lists it for MiniLift sit-to-stand lifts. The vest supports the mid to low back, closes with a buckle, and is meant for a single person. The current page prints a safe working load of 440 lb (199 kg).
This page is medium only
Small is 45690004, large is 45690007 and extra large is 45690008. Those are different articles. Polyester, wipeable and disposable-without-seat versions use other number series and are not this vest.
The maker's current size table calls 45690006 the medium disposable non-woven vest with seat support, packed in fives. It prints a vest width of 41 in (104 cm) and a recommended user weight of 110 to 176 lb (50 to 80 kg).
The current Savaria page does not repeat the pack count, the width or that weight range. Use the label on the vest you receive if the two sources disagree.
How it is used
Savaria describes sit-to-stand transfers, toileting, standing practice and gait practice. It says the vest is not meant to ride up under the arms, and that alternative loops help an upright posture for different heights. Cleaning is single-patient use, not a laundry cycle.
Match it to the MiniLift you already have. Other sit-to-stand slings are under sit-to-stand slings. The wider range is under slings. Lifts are under patient lifts.
