Liko Sabina SeatStrap Highly Versatile Sabina II Instructions
Product Description
The Seat Strap is an accessory which is placed under the patient’s bottom to help during the first part of the raising. It suits patients who need help to get their bottom up during raising. This prevents the support vest from sliding up, which could cause undesirable pressure under the arms.
Sabina Seat Strap is designed for use with Liko Sabina™ sit-to-stand lifts
only. The Seat Strap is always used together with one of Liko’s support vests.
Furthermore, the lift must be completed with the Sabina Seat Strap Sling Bar.
The accompanying plastic reinforcement facilitates the application of the Seat
Strap. The plastic reinforcement is inserted into the fabric pocket on the
bottom of the Seat Strap and makes it easier to apply the Seat Strap under the
patient’s bottom.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.
IMPORTANT!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a certain level of risk.
Read the instructions for use for both the patient lift and lifting
accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents
of the instructions for use.
The equipment should only be used by trained personnel. Ensure that the
lifting accessories are suitable for the lift used.
Exercise care and caution during use. As a caregiver, you are always
responsible for the patient’s safety. You must be aware of the patient’s
ability to make it through the lifting situation. If something is unclear,
contact the manufacturer or supplier.

Safety Instructions
Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
- A responsible person within your organization should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers are needed.
- Plan the lifting operation so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
- Although Like’s sling bars are equipped with latches, special caution must be exercised. Before the patient is lifted from the underlying surface, but after the straps have been fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling bar hooks.
- Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation.
- Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
- Always work ergonomically. Use the patient’s ability to actively participate in the operations.
