Product description StretcherSling and StretcherBar

The 10 Point Stretcher Sling can only be applied and removed when the 

patient is lying down

1. 

Turn the patient towards you. Place

 

The 10 Point Stretcher Sling so that the product 
label is facing the underlying surface and the 
sling’s mid-section follows the patient’s spine. 
The upper edge of the Stretcher Sling should 
support the head. 
Place the edge of the sling as far in under the 
patient as possible. Guide the loops under, so 
that you can reach them once you have turned 
the patient back onto StretcherSling.

2. 

Turn the patient back onto the sling and pull the

 

sling out from the other side with the help of 
the straps. 

3. 

If necessary: Adjust the width of the Stretcher-

Bar to fit the patient’s width by pulling out the 
lift hooks.
Then, hook the lift loops onto the bar.

4. 

Raise the lift until all loops are fully extended

Pause to ensure that everything is as it should 
be before raising the patient clear of the 
underlying surface.

5. 

If the patient is not balanced after being lifted

 

from the underlying surface, this can be 
corrected turning the balance regulator.

Removal of the StretcherSling

1. 

Release all suspension hooks from the lift and

 

move it out of the way. Turn the patient toward 
you and tuck the 10 Point Stretcher Sling in 
under itself against the underlying surface. 

2. 

The fabric slides against itself when you pull out

 

the Stretcher Sling, after turning back the patient.
