Loop Detachment

Follow these 3 Steps

The illustration is an example of a hook with latch. The spreader 
bar or stretcher frame might be of a different design.

1

Place the loop over the latch.

2

Pull the loop down to force the latch to open.

3

Make sure the latch closes completely with the loop inside 
the hook. 

(See Fig. 1)

NOTE

• Make sure to align coloured straps so that 

both sides match each other in order to 
distribute the patient weight evenly, e.g. 
yellow strap in-line with yellow strap.

• The loop length alternatives on the straps can 

be used to adjust the patient’s position and 
comfort, for example shorter loops at the 
head end and longer loops at the hip. 

• If the patient is not centred on the 

Maxi Transfer 

sheet, select longer loop 

lengths on the side closest to the patient and 
shorter loop lengths at the other side.

 

Method 1 (2 Steps)

1

Press the latch open.

2

Remove the loop.

Method 2 (2 Steps)

bar or stretcher frame might be of a different design.
