4.4 Client is supported from the waist up or in a sitting position.
With the client in this position, where the upper part of the body is raised, you can use most of the
Domino slings (
except Thorax, which is only used in combination with stand up hoists)
.
Domino Classic, Active & Hygiene slings
Choose one of the above-mentioned slings, the physical condition of the person to be lifted
in consideration. We won’t give to general guidelines but use of Hygiene slings requires
that he or she has stability in head and upper body.
1.
Position the sling behind the back of your client with pull straps and labelling to the
outside. Place the lower part of the back support as close to the base of the spine
as possible.
Note!
For Hygiene Slings Only
Position the lower part of the back at waist level.
2.
Pull the leg straps downwards until they are straightened out.
3.
Position each leg support under client’s legs. Illustrated on page 8.
4.
If a safety belt is used - this may now be gently fixed, do not tighten too firmly.
5.
Move the spreader bar of the hoist above client
’s waist - and position each strap in
the hooks. Use similar coloured loops for the two leg supports and shoulder
supports, respectively.
6.
The client’s arms must on the
Classic sling always be placed inside the sling
,
on Hygiene always outside the sling
. On other slings arms may be placed in
either way - chose the most comfortable way.
7.
Lift client slightly above surface - STOP - make sure that all straps are securely
attached to the hooks of the spreader bar and if necessary, make adjustments to
the sling.
8.
When you have checked that the sling is properly attached and your client is
comfortable, you may complete the lift.
