Frequently asked questions

How do you use an Actimove Sling on a Roll?

Measure the length needed from the patient's affected hand around the neck and back to the shoulder. Cut the tubular sling from the roll with scissors. Slip the patient's arm through and adjust at the shoulder for the right elevation - typically with the wrist higher than the elbow. Tie or pin at the shoulder to secure. Many users add a clinch pad at the neck to prevent rubbing.

What sizes does the sling on a roll come in?

Each pack contains 2 rolls of 12 metres each, giving 24m total. Tubular fabric width is approximately 5cm laid flat, expanding when slipped over an arm. Cut to length per patient - typically 80cm for paediatric, 100-120cm for adult.

Is Actimove Sling on a Roll reusable?

Each cut length is single-patient use. Cut a fresh length for each casualty - reusing slings between patients carries cross-infection risk. The roll itself can supply many slings over time. Store the unused roll in its original packaging to keep it clean and dry.

Where is the Actimove Sling on a Roll used?

Australian state ambulance services, GP clinics, urgent care, sports medicine clinics, school first aid rooms and workplace medical stations all use the 12m roll format. The cut-to-fit approach is preferred where pre-cut sling sizes won't suit every casualty.
