Product Descripon

The MulStraps are specially developed for versale applica

ons in healthcare. The MulStraps are used for liing and

holding parts of the paent’s body to facilitate examinaon,

care and treatment. The MulStraps can also be used for

turning a paent in bed and supporng the paent in a lateral

position. Instead of performing these tasks manually, the

nursing sta should use the MulStraps together with a li

and thereby potenally avoid heavy and harmful strains.

Suitable applicaon areas are for:

 Treatment of wounds, e.g. burns

 Hygiene

 Treatment, e.g. catheterizaon

 Examinaon

 Posioning of bedpan

 Dressing/Undressing

 Turning sideways.

The MulStraps can be used alone or in pairs, e.g. for liing

both legs of the paent during catheterizaon.

The MultiStraps are available in different models/widths.

The narrower MulStraps are oen easier to place and give

beer access to a larger skin area. Choose a wider MulStrap

for larger support area and pressure distribuon.

The MulStraps are available in two materials, polyester and

nonwoven, both with pressureequalizing reinforced pads.

The polyester design is durable and userfriendly. The non

woven design is intended for shortterm use and should be

discarded when the product is soiled or when the paent no

longer needs it.

For more informaon about Solo MulStrap in nonwoven

fabric, please contact your HillRom representave.

The MulStraps can be used together with Liko’s mobile or

overhead lis.

The MulStraps are not intended for liing and moving a

paent from one locaon to another. For these applicaons

we recommend liing with one of the Liko slings available in

many models.

IMPORTANT!

Liing and transferring a paent always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instrucons for use for both the paent

li and liing accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instrucons for use.

The equipment should only be used by trained personnel. Ensure that the liing accessories are suitable for the li used.

Exercise care and cauon during use. As a caregiver, you are always responsible for the paent’s safety. You must be aware

of the paent’s ability to make it through the liing situaon. If something is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.

Before liing, keep the following points in mind:

• Choose the MulStrap best suited to the task at hand.

• Pay aenon to any skin sensivity, pressure sensivity or pain in those places where the the MulStraps are to be applied.

• Ensure that the paent has the joint mobility necessary to passively li body parts with the MulStraps.

• Before liing limb, plan the liing operaon to make it as safe and convenient as possible.

• Although the Liko sling bars are equipped with safety latches, special cauon must be exercised. Before the limb is lied

from the bed, but aer the straps are fully extended, make sure the strap loops are properly aached to the sling bar.

• Never leave a paent unaended during a liing situaon.

• The wheels of the bed must be locked during a liing/transfer operaon; this is especially important when turning paents.

• Use bed rails during the turning operaon; this is especially important when only one caregiver is performing the task.

• Plan the liing operaon so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.

• Always work ergonomically.

Applicaon

NOTE: The MulStrap can also be applied using HandySheet™, which is recommended for heavy paents or when you

need to be extra gentle with the paent. For more informaon please contact your Hill-Rom representave.

Work out the strap loop from

the opposite side and pull

the MulStrap forward so

that the body part is placed

in the middle of the strap.

Aach the strap loops to the

sling bar. Use the small strap

loop if the liing height is

insucient.

The MulStrap can also be

inserted where there is most

space, e.g. under the knees,

and then carefully be pulled

into place under the paent.

This can be made easier

by alternavely pulling the

MulStrap from side to side

unl it is in desired place,

e.g. under the buocks.

Apply the MulStrap under the body part which is to be

lied/held. Fold in the strap loop under the MulStrap

and push it in under the paent’s body. Insert your hand

or use the spatula in the MulStrap pocket to facilitate

the applicaon (please see gures above).

Li and Hold

Place the MulStrap under the part of the paent’s body which is to be lied/held.

Before liing, check that the strap loops are properly aached to the sling bar. Li to desired height.

Removal

Turning Sideways

Turning a paent sideways can be done by a lone caregiver, but we recommend two assisng each other. This is a meeecve

and smooth way of operang. Use the bed rails, in parcular if just one caregiver performs the turning.

Fold in the strap loop under the MulStrap (Fig. 5). Work out and grasp the strap loop and remove the MulStrap carefully

(Fig. 6).

The MulStrap can also be pulled out carefully where there is extra space, e.g. under the knees.

For extra gentle removal, use HandySheet™. For more informaon please contact your Hill-Rom representave.

Example

The sling bar with 2point suspension is recommended for liing/holding as per the above examples.

One MulStrap (Fig. 3) or two MulStraps (Fig. 1) can be used.

When turning a paent sideways, we recommend a sling bar with a 2-point suspension.

Fig. 3. Li/Hold arm Fig. 4. Li/Hold buocks

Fig. 1. Li/Hold a leg with

two MulStraps

Fig. 5. Fig. 6.

Use two MulStraps; place one under the shoulders and

the other under the hips. If necessary, the strap loops can

be aached to a suitable place on the bed using FixStraps

(see pos. 1, page 4). This holds the MulStraps in place

during turning.

Prepare the operaon by placing the paent so that the

turning is facilitated; one arm out to the side and one leg over

the other. Li in such a manner that the paent is turned

sideways by means of the li. Do not li so high that there is

a risk of the paent pping over. Adjust the paent’s posion

so that it is comfortable.

Do not li too high!
