Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
1
2
Safely position the client onto the sling, ensuring
that the sling aperture is at the base of the spine.
NOTE:
For added safety and support, Joerns
Healthcare recommend the use of a head support
when lifting from the floor.
Carefully feed the leg sections under and up be-
tween the patient’s legs, ensuring that the sling is
positioned comfortably and not twisted or creased
under the thighs. Configure the leg straps in the
same manner as with the seated position (step 3).
Next, proceed to attach the sling to the spreader
bar in the same manner as with the seated posi-
tion (step 4).
NOTE:
The longer you attach the shoulder straps,
the more reclined the client will be.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S
HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES DURING
TRANSFER.
