Bariatric Kit for transfer - up to 400kg

Promove slings for  +Disability +Evacuation +Rescue

Be prepared with the ProMove Bariatric Kit

There is an increasing requirement to manually handle a bariatric person, perhaps as a casualty in an accident or to admit to hospital for treatment.  How do emergency teams move a larger individually safely to minimise the risk of injury to the individual and themselves? 

Central to the Bariatric kit is the ProMove Sling  

The two largest slings, Bariatric Sling and Super Bariatric slings, comprises of 6 or 7 handles that emergency personnel can hold to manage the transfer of the bariatric person. Maintaining the bariatric individual in an upright seated position drastically reduces the risk of breathing difficulties associated with placing a bariatric person in the lying down or supine position.
