For double limb support, two Limb Lifters can be
used. Each sling is attached to opposite sides of
the spreader bar as shown.

How to Use the Sling at a Chair
Apply the Limb Lifter under the user’s thigh at the
back of the knee joint. Pull the Limb Lifter under
the knee taking care not to shear the user’s skin
and ensuring that even amounts of the sling are
on each side of the thigh.
Attach the Limb Lifter to the lifting hanger and the
thigh can now be elevated slightly from the chair.
This is particularly useful when applying or re
-
moving a lifting sling as it allows the leg strap to
be placed either between the user’s thigh, or be
drawn out without putting strain on the skin.
