Make sure the positioning straps and sling identification
label are on the outside of the sling. Feed the sling
down the back of the patient, leaving the aperture
at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square
across the shoulders.
Whilst ensuring that the leg section is not twisted,
carefully feed it under and up between the patient’s
legs. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Cross
strap A through strap B or utilise the dignity loop.
Pass strap C up through strap B then repeat for the
other leg using strap D through strap A. Check the
sling is smooth under the patient and the position
is comfortable.
Move the hoist into position and attach the leg straps
to the hooks on the spreader. Next attach the shoulder
straps to maintain an upright seated position as shown
in the diagram above. The lift may move towards the
patient as you do this. When reseating the client, use
the sling positioning handles to help achieve a safe
and comfortable position.
NOTE:
Sling positioning handles are designed for
turning a patient only and must not be used for lifting.
