English
There is an increased risk of slipping out of the sling using this method of transfer.
Assess the patient’s capabilities carefully.
Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring
that the commode aperture is at the base of the
spine.
Cross leg strap A and B under and between
the legs and feed A through B. Feed C and D
through the long loops on A and B. Then proceed
to attach the sling to the spreader bar in the same
way as the sitting position.

Fitting the Sling from an Alternative Seated Position
For closed leg positions, straps may be crossed
under both legs and attached as shown. Ensure
leg straps C and D are passed through straps A
and B and attached to the spreader bar. This can
provide additional comfort and can be used for
some amputees.
The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the
more reclined the client will be.
