Application of the sling when the patient is lying in bed, on a stretcher or on the floor
1. Turn the patient towards you. Place
the sling so that the product label is fac-
ing the underlying surface and the sling’s
mid-section follows the spine. The upper
edge of the sling should be high enough
so that the sling supports the head and
the lower edge is level with the tailbone.
Place the sling as far in under the patient
as possible. Push the back-section loop
under, so that you can reach it once you
have turned the patient back onto the
sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient’s back and place the
leg supports between the patient’s knees
when he/she is turned towards you, and
then pull them forward when the patient
is lying on the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling
and pull out the head support, back sec-
tion and leg support.
4. Cross the leg supports and hook
them to the slingbar.
Start raising the lift, when the straps
become taut, stop and check that every-
thing is ok before proceeding with the lift.
1. Lay the leg supports between the
patient’s knees.
2. Turn the patient towards you and fold
the sling in under the patient so that the
fabric slides towards you when you pull
it out after you have turned back the
patient.
