HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION
The comfort sling is fitted to the patient in the traditional way.
Fitting from the seated position requires the carer to raise the
clients leg and feed the leg support peice under and up between
the legs. Repeat this procedure for other leg. Ensure the sling
is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Bring both leg pieces
together and feed through the modesty strap.
Position the rear section of the sling up and around the shoulders
and head, the client is then ready for lifting.
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring that the top of the commode aperture is at the base of the
spine. Position the spreader bar as shown opposite and the client is ready for lifting.
