 Models 50 & 55 Liko HygieneVest is designed for safe lifting to and from the toilet. The sitting posture is almost fully upright. In terms of function and safety, HygieneVest offers unique advantages and works well in complicated problem situations, e.g., for patients with poor muscle tone. HygieneVest has a vest section that surrounds and firmly supports the upper body during lifting. A generous opening around the seat leaves much of the lower body free for dressing and undressing during the actual lifting operation in connection with visits to the toilet. Liko HygieneVest is intended for sit-to-sit lifting. The upright sitting posture facilitates lifts to the toilet and positioning in a wheelchair. Since HygieneVest does not enclose the buttocks, it is ideal for lifting to and from moulded seats and close-fitting wheelchairs. The leg supports are padded with soft corduroy. Liko HygieneVest with High Back, model 55 Liko HygieneVest with High Back is the right choice for those who need support to prevent the head from tilting back. For patients who have problems with spasticity, try model 55. Recommended especially for: Liko HygieneVest is the preferred choice of many patients because it enables a stable, upright sitting posture. HygieneVest can also be the best choice for severely functionally disabled amputees or those who have problems with spasticity (best choice, Mod. 55). Patients with limited torso stability and poor muscle tone can usually manage lifts with HygieneVest, and they find it secure and comfortable.
