Anti-Spasm loop slings
1. Ensure the label is on the outside of the sling
and feed down the back of the client. Push the
top of the commode apeture as far down under
the client as possible. Check the shoulder straps
are square with the clients shoulders,
fig.1
.
2. Lift the clients’ legs and feed the leg strap
under then up through between their legs,
leaving the hip straps on the outside. Check that
the sling is not twisted under the leg. Repeat for
the other leg as
fig.2
.
3. Cross the leg straps and attach to the front
hooks of the hanger frame on the longest loop.
Attach the hip straps also to the front hooks of the
hanger frame on the longest loop. Attach the
shoulder straps to the rear hooks of the hanger
frame on the shortest loop for an upright posture
illustrated in
fig.3
.
4. Raise the hoist and ensure that the client
is secure and comfortable. Using the shorter
loops on the legs and hips with the longer
loops on the shoulders, achieves a more
reclined position,
fig.4
.
5. To establish firm head support connect the head
rest clips as
fig.5
and adjust for the clients’ comfort.
6. Finally connect the chest
belt
fig.6
, again adjust for the
clients confort and tidy the
strap ends.
The client should now be safely and comfortably supported and restrained.
WARNING: Only use the loop attachments on loop hanger bars.
CAUTION:
Before every lift visually inspect the sling’s structural integrity.
If there is any sign of damaged fabric or stitching do not use the sling.
