Description
Items 118402 to 118407 are HighStar's Tri-Turner sling, a loop-style sling for turning a person onto their side in bed.
What does it do and how does it work?
It rolls a person from their back onto their side so a carer can reach the back.
- A sewn-in Velcro strap slides under the lower back and anchors to the far side of the bed frame.
- Loop straps hook onto the carry bar of a floor or ceiling lift.
- Raising the lift rolls the person onto their side while the Velcro holds the sling.
- Support the person through the turn, with a pillow under the back when bathing.
- After the turn, unfasten the Velcro, fasten it onto itself and pull the sling out.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits a person who needs help turning in bed with a loop-style lift.
- For a bed to chair lift, use a full-body sling.
- For toileting, the HighStar hygiene sling has a commode opening.
Will it fit?
Size, fabric and the bed frame decide the fit.
- Junior, item 118402, fits under 4 ft (122 cm) and 110 lbs (50 kg); XXL fits over 6 ft 6 in (198 cm) and over 400 lbs (181 kg).
- A risk assessment sets the final size.
- The Velcro needs a bed frame within reach, and the lift needs a loop-style carry bar.
Using it day to day
Compress the mattress and slide the Velcro end under the lower back.
- Fix the Velcro loop to the far side of the bed frame.
- Hook the straps to the carry bar with the hooks parallel to the back, and cross or straighten the legs before lifting.
- Wash in a laundry bag at 80 C (176 F) or less; no bleach, dry clean, iron or heat drying.
- Inspect seams, fabric and label before each use; a cared-for sling lasts about 2-3 years.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
It works with any compatible floor or ceiling lift that takes loop-style slings.
- Quilted holds 650 lbs (295 kg) to large and 700 lbs (318 kg) on XL and XXL; spacer holds 625 lbs (284 kg) in every size.
- Never exceed the label limit.
- It turns a person in bed; a lift out of bed needs a full-body sling.
- Remove it if it is torn or frayed, or if the label is worn.
How does it compare?
- HighStar positioning sling is for supine transfers and repositioning, and can turn someone onto their side.
- HighStar hygiene sling is a toileting sling with a commode opening.
- All patient lift slings lists our other loop and clip models.
