Application of the sling when the patient is lying in bed, on a stretcher or on the floor
Removal of the sling when the patient is recumbent
1. Turn the patient towards you. Place the sling so
that the product label is
facing the underlying surface and the sling’s mid-
section follows the spine. The upper edge of the
sling’s back section should be at shoulder height
and the lower edge level with the tailbone. Place
the edge of 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 back section 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 everything is in order 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.
