Application of the four-point slingbar:
For raising the patient to a standing position using a mobile lift or
stationary lift unit, use of a four-point slingbar is recommended.
First, apply the rear loops to the wider side of the slingbar, and
then the front loops to the narrower side.
BariTurn application:
BariTurn is a turntable that enables gait training with two lift
units. The lift vest can be applied in different ways, depending on
whether more space is required lengthwise or width-wise.
Alternative 1: Fasten the loops on the back section to one slingbar,
and then fasten the loops on the front section to the other slingbar.
Alternative 2: Hook one loop from the front section and one from
the back section to one slingbar, and then hook the loops from the
other side to the other slingbar.
Raising:
Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure. Never leave the
patient unattended during a lifting situation. Always be attentive
to the patient’s signals. Begin lifting. Stop when all lift straps are
tensioned, and check to ensure that everything is as it should be
before continuing to lift. Stop raising if the patient is uncomfortable.
When the patient is standing, a walking support can be used.
