Use 2nd pair of slings for larger patients and those with varicose veins or
other conditions resulting in extremely sensitive legs.  Using 2 pairs of
slings permits a higher lift of the patient’s lower body compared to the
basic single pair sling process.

Operate the patient lifter to lift the patient’s hips to access the buttocks
and lower back for cleaning and changing.
