Lift and Care Systems

Spreader bars

When using a SUREHANDS sling a spreader bar is required.  We have two and four point spreader bar systems.  When combined with the multi-loop features of SUREHANDS slings a caregiver can distribute the patient's body weight for maximum comfort and functionality. 

Perfect Weight Distribution

The four point spreader bar can be positioned in a reclining, sitting, or inclined position.  This is determined by a combination of front and rear loop attachments.  For example, the longest length in the front and shortest in the back will raise the user to a sitting position.

The bar is bow shaped so that the patient's head is out of the way during initial lifting.  Once the patient is lifted,  the curved shape also prevents the patient's vision from being obstructed so the actions of the caregiver can be easily followed.

Quick and Safe To Put On

The sling is quickly put on and removed reducing transfer time. 

One Lift Two Systems

Many of our SUREHANDS systems provide a quick change from body support to spreader bar and back.  This works great where multiple individuals with different needs must be transferred.
