The RPH Keyhole Double Amputee Sling is a full body, padded, split leg Sling with head support. It is designed with keyhole plates to fit onto tilt frame Hoists that have ‘mushroom’ studs to attach the keyhole plates to.
Main Features
Keyhole Plate attachments for tilt frame hoists
Built-in Safety Straps
Small aperture for amputees
Wide legs for extra support
Full body with back and head support
The benefit of the RPH Keyhole Double Amputee Sling is the extra width of the leg section used under the thighs. This gives extra support when lifting. A special Leg Loop allows one of the Leg Sections to thread through the Leg Loop to help keep the Leg Sections together when lifting.
This Sling has been beneficial to many single and double amputees, but it is important to test the Sling on individual patients to ensure that they will be safely lifted.
We incorporate special Safety Straps with our Keyhole Plate Slings as an extra safety measure. These may stop the Patient falling to the floor if a Keyhole Plate comes off the stud or breaks, and can prevent a serious accident. Click on the picture for further information.

Notes
Standard White
Nylon
This is called a solid material, as it is not a Mesh or Netting material that has holes in the material. The Nylon has some slipperiness, to make it easier to slide down behind a patient’s back, when they are sitting in a chair.
All Day Sling Material
Nylon
A strong, thin material with a Rip Stop thread in the material, to help reduce or prevent ripping. As the material is breathable the Slings can be left under the patients sitting in chairs. This reduces the need to remove the Sling after the patient has been hoisted into a chair, and then replace the Sling to pick them up again.
Please select the most appropriate material and sling design for the patient, but remember, if the patient’s condition changes, it may be necessary to use a different material and design of sling. See the FAQ tab for more information.
