Definitions

Lifting from the sitting position

Place the sling behind the patient’s back with the product 

label outwards. Fold up the lower edge of the sling 

around your finger tips to facilitate guiding the sling into 

place.

Using the palm of your hand, push the lower edge of 

the sling down to the level of the patient’s coccyx - 

this 

is very importantTip:

 Correct positioning is facilitated 

if the patient leans/is leaned forward slightly.

Pull the sling’s leg supports forward along the outside 

of the patient’s thighs. Place the palm of your hand 

between the patient’s body and the sling and push 

the leg support’s lower edge down towards the seat. 

Simultaneously, pull the leg support forward with the 

other hand to stretch it.

Pull the leg supports forward to smooth out any 

creases in the back. Check that both leg supports 

protrude the same distance.
Tip:

 A gentle hold under the knee-cap makes it easier 

to pull the leg supports forward.
