How to Fit 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.
Carefully feed the leg sections under and up
between 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 position (step 4).
NOTE:
Joerns Healthcare recommend slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or damage.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S
HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES DURING
THE TRANSFER.
