HighStar EasyMove Straps

The HighStar EasyMove is a Canadian-made strap pair, not a sling. HighStar's instruction sheet says it can extend a sling's existing straps or stabilize someone who extends or moves during the transfer. It only belongs on a loop sling that already has head support. Westin Healthcare sells SKU 120000 in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.

Who this accessory is for

The 2022 Homecare list: an accessory that can be applied to any existing sling that has head support, for users who extend or are rigid and cannot sit upright. Pair it with a HighStar Universal, Hammock, Deluxe Hammock, Deluxe Recline, or Hygiene article that includes head support.

• Loop slings with head support
• Counterbalance from the head-support loops, or loop extension with carabiners
• One size pair

See the HighStar Universal Sling and the HighStar Deluxe Recline Sling if you still need the sling itself.

Sizing

One size (O/S) pair. Confirm with our staff that the host sling has head support. EasyMove does not have its own SWL; do not exceed the host sling's rating.

Attachment and compatible lifts

This is a loop sling. HighStar writes that it is compatible with any floor or ceiling lift that accepts loop-style slings. Colour-coded loops go onto the carry-bar hooks. It does not use Human Care E-clips or mushroom fasteners.

On our floor it belongs on a Handicare loop carry bar: the Handicare C450, the Handicare C625, the Handicare A450, or the two-point SlingBar on the Handicare Carina 350. Drive and Hoyer manuals restrict those lifts to their own slings, so we do not hang a HighStar sling there. Confirm size and fabric with a clinician or our staff before first use.

Delivery in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team can deliver this sling across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area, on its own or with a Handicare lift setup. We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a sling first. For a scheduled drop-off or a fitting, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works.

This is a small carton. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods can apply when it ships without a lift. If it travels with a patient lift, the lift is oversized and White-Glove Delivery is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Warranty

When something on the sling needs work, you call the shop that sold it. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department.

HighStar manufacturer warranty

HighStar's current instruction sheets do not print a simple year-count warranty. They do print that a properly cared for sling should last about 2 to 3 years. Ask us for the warranty that ships with your article. We handle the claim with you.
