Adjust the bed’s position to sitting
Lifting with the Sit-On Comfort sling should
always take place from a sitting position.
The user’s degree of body control
determines whether the arms should be
inside or outside the sling.
If a person is paralysed on one side, the
paralysed arm should be inside the sling
Lift until all straps are taut and now check
all attachments.
It is a good idea to lower the height of the
bed before starting to lift the user.
It feels more secure and you need not
lift the user higher than necessary.
Do these stages in reverse when the user
is being put back into bed.
When the user is placed in a wheelchair
tip the chair slightly backwards and push
against the user’s knees to get the user as
far back in the chair as possible.
The two leg loops can be placed
in the pocket.
