Choosing back height of sling

When deciding the variant of a sling, it is crucial that the sling is fitted for the ability of the user when it comes to the level of torso- and head control.

A HighBack sling supports both head and torso and is suitable for users without torso- and head control.
A MediumBack sling is without head support but with complete support of the torso. These slings are to be used for users with full head control but low torso control.
A LowBack sling supports only the pelvis and waist of the user and is therefore only suitable for active users with full torso- and head control.

Three widths of leg support openings

When deciding the type of leg support it is relevant to consider the lifting situation and the user’s physical condition.

A standard leg support opening is the most common type of sling since it is suitable for most users and lifting situations.
A narrow leg support opening is a safe choice for a person with e.g. leg amputee(s), low muscle tone or a very "petit" body because we reduce the hole under the buttock when choosing a narrow opening instead of a standard opening. 
Molift RgoSling Amputee and Molift EvoSling Ampu have narrow leg support openings.
A wide leg support opening allows easy access for toileting, but it is only for users who are able to accommodate the physical demands of a larger hole under the buttock than the standard opening provides. Molift RgoSling Toilet, Molift EvoSling Hygiene and Molift UnoSling Toilet have wide leg support openings.
