PROMOVE Bariatric and Super Bariatric slings
Bariatric individuals
Moving bariatric individuals produces additional problems
and further planning and risk assessment is needed.
Additional training is necessary for operatives.
Lying a bariatric individual on their back may not be possible
because of health or location problems. If in a seated
position, maintain the individual in that raised position.
Optional: Extension handles permit additional operatives
to be involved. Two extension handles can be attached to
each of the coupled sets of coloured handles, providing
four grasping points at the front. Four further extension
handles can be attached to the rear handles if necessary.
Implementing the move
Ensure all operatives have a firm grip. On the guide of the
lead operative, move and slide the individual into the new
location.
Move in short stages, pause, and if necessary, reassess.
Remain aware of the well-being of the individual and
operatives at all times.
The Bariatric Sling (BS) and Super Bariatric Slings (SBS)
has a SWL of 63stone (882lb; 400kg).
To attach the extension
handle, pass through the
handle on the sling and
back through itself and pull
tight as a chocker knot.
Maintenance and replacement
Storage: When not in use keep the sling and accessories
clean and dry in the bag provided. Avoid excessively hot

Monitoring: Visually examine the sling and accessories
before each use paying special attention to stitching.
The sling should be examined at least once every six
months by a competent person and recorded, using the
unique serial number on each sling.
Laundering: All components should be washed at 72°C in
a mild detergent and the washing component of the cycle
should be kept at this temperature for at least 10 minutes.
Do not bleach, do not tumble dry. If contaminated by
oil, cleaning materials or unknown substances, the sling
should be destroyed and replaced.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
Introduction
The sling is designed for moving an indi-
vidual of almost any size, from large child
(approx.11 years) to a large adult, where
a hoist cannot be used. It requires a mini-
mum of two and maximum of four opera-
tives distributing the weight between the
operatives. To move bariatric individuals,
extension handles enable eight operatives
to be involved.
The sling is intended to be used by those
who are familiar with manual handling
techniques.
