8.1.2.3 Applying the BEKA Hospitec Sling in Sitting Position
Caution:
Lead the sling with your hand downwards to the sitting surface so that the bottom of
the sling is aligned with the coccyx (butt bone).
Make sure that the patient’s head is located inside the cloth.
It is easier to apply the sling, when the patient leans slightly forward.
Pull the leg loops forward so that they are on the outside of the thigh. Make sure that
the leg loops protrude equally.
Pull on the left and the right side of the leg loops to straighten possible folds or
wrinkles.
Pull the leg loops one
by one under the patient’s thigh. Check that the sling is
completely wrapped around the thigh without wrinkles or folds.
Caution:
Now, you can attach the leg loops to the CARLO ALU either crosswise or parallel (only
for loop slings), always one to the right and the other to the left of the hanger bar.
Attach in any cases the 2 shoulder fixations as well as the 2 fixations for the legs to the
CARLO ALU.
