Attaching Sling Model 3624 to the LIFTING BAR
General Information
Decide in what position the patient should be in
when lifted.
To lift the patient in a seated position, use a
shorter set of loops at the shoulders and a longer
set of loops at the legs. This places the patient’s
head higher than his/her legs.
To lift in a reclined position use a longer set of
loops at the shoulders and a shorter set of loops
at the legs.
This will allow the patient’s head to be level
with his/her legs.
Attach the back loops to the hanger by slipping
the right back loop over the right back hook and
the left back loop over the left back hook.
NOTE:
Left and right refer to the patient’s left
and right.
Configuring the Sling for Normal Use
