Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel lift swing pad made of memory foam material. The pad is cuboidal and is configured to be separately positioned on slings of a lift sling or lift swing such that the legs and/or arms (i.e., appendages) of a user sitting in the swing places legs on the pads to prevent the slings from folding under the user and to prevent the slings from pulling on the skin of the user. The pad has a hook and loop fastener for attaching to the slings and in one embodiment, has a heating layer for providing a soothing effect to the user. In some embodiments, the pad is made of waterproof neoprene. The pad helps maintain optimal blood circulation within the extremities while a person is being supported by the sling.
