ThoraxSling Patient Lifting Sling
Users of the 160 or 200 Standing Aids will know what a helpful and secure set of devices they are for helping patients with weak legs and impaired balance. The ThoraxSling Patient Lifting Sling is the ideal accessory to use alongside the MiniLift, as it is easy for the caregiver to apply, while giving the user an added sense of comfort and security during rising and standing training.
Unique and Comfortable Experience
Every version of the MiniLift offers a completely unique and comfortable experience when it comes to helping patients up from a seated position. It gently guides the user to a natural pattern of movement as they rise from a seated position, and saves the caregiver the strain of manual lifting.
Features of the ThoraxSling Patient Lifting Sling
- Easy for the caregiver to apply
- Gives the user an added sense of security
- Facilitates hassle-free toileting
- Does not ride up under the arms
- Alternative lift loops enable an upright posture

No Riding Up
Together with the MiniLift, the ThoraxSling provides a very gentle and smooth sit-to-stand experience for users. The movement of the lift arm is designed so that the pulling motion ends comfortably in the lower back, which prevents the sling from riding up under the arms.
