Combining a floor level bed for the patient with a safe working height for the carer.

The ThoraxSling is a specially adapted sit-to-stand vest that is used in combination with Handicare’s SystemRoMedic™ sit-to-stand lifts MiniLift200 and MiniLift125. It is easy for the caregiver to apply, while giving the user an added sense of security during rising and standing training. ThoraxSling also facilitates toileting.

Together with MiniLift, ThoraxSling provides a very gentle and pleasant sit-to-stand experience. The movement of the lift arm is designed so that the pulling motion ends comfortably in the lower back, which prevents the vest from riding up under the arms.

Available in two models and several materials and sizesThoraxSling is available in two models; one which provides support behind the back (ThoraxSling) and one that also gives support under the seat (ThoraxSling, with seat support), and in several materials and sizes.
