Lifting with a stretcher on UltraTwist Wide
UltraTwist Wide should be used when lifting with a stretcher. We recommend the use of UltraStretch (see page 6). Below,
lifting with UltraStretch and LiftSheet XL is illustrated. Carefully study the instruction for use for the accessories used.
1. Apply the lift sheet as described in the instruction for
use. Guide the UltraStretch over the patient and lower
to about half a metre above the bed. Hang all of the
strap loops on the stretcher. Note that the stretcher
has a head end and a foot end (see marking with head
symbol).
Ensure that all strap loops are properly hooked
when the straps are extended but before the patient is
lifted from the underlying surface.
2. During lifting, check to ensure that the patient is
resting in the desired position: fully prone or with
the head slightly higher. If necessary, this can be
regulated by raising or lowering one of the lift
motors.
UltraTwist Wide can rotate 360°. This is a great advantage if you
need to change bedding, lift to a stretcher or when lifting in
confined spaces. Grasp the stretcher and rotate the patient to
the desired position.
When lifting, always lift with both lift motor´s!
