The Comfort Care Spacer Sling is used mainly for
performing supine to seated transfers and vice
versa. The sling can only be applied and removed
while the patient is supine. Once transferred, the
sling can be left under the client while seated.
LEAVE IN PLACE
The Comfort
Care
Sling is only available in spacer fabric. Slings
should only be left in place if they are made of spacer fabric. Other
fabrics will increase the risk of skin breakdown if left under the
patient for long periods of time.
APPLYING THE SLING
WHEN THE CLIENT IS LYING DOWN:
1. Assist the client to roll onto his or her side with hips and knees
flexed – have him or her help as much as possible.
2. Apply the sling to the client:
a. Drape the sling over the client while the client is in a
side-lying position with the hips and knees flexed.
b. Line the darting in the hip
region up with the client’s
flexed hip
c. Tuck the edge closest to
the bed under the client
by pushing down into
the mattress.
3. Ask the client to roll onto his or her back then walk around
to the other side of the bed
a. Ask the client to roll
away from you just
enough that you can
pull the tucked flap
flat onto the bed
b. Ask the client to roll
onto his or her back
4. Locate the storage pouch
between the client’s thighs.
This storage pouch (made
of Spacer Fabric) houses
the midline leg straps.
Thread the long leg straps
through the midline leg straps.
