Before Approaching the Patient
Attendants should always tell the patient what
they are about to do. Make sure to have on hand
a sling that is of the correct model and of
adequate size for transfer with the Voyager .
Before performing the transfer, it is important to
evaluate the patient’s general condition. For
example, an agitated patient will require a more
specific type of sling.
Attachment Methods
Once the loop sling has been fitted around the
patient, it can be configured in three ways. With
each of the three methods described below, it is
necessary to first connect each shoulder loop of
the sling to both sides of the spreader bar.
Attachments Points
Method 1 - Cross-through
(Legs closed with crossing straps)
This method is recommended for most general
transfer .

Method 2 - Hammock
(Bridge, legs closed)
This method can provide a comfortable cradle for
amputee patient.
It is also a useful method for patients with
contractures, making it difficult to bring a sling
strap between the legs.

Method 3 - Abduction
(Legs opened with non-crossing straps)
In this method, legs are held in abduction which is
convenient for toileting and hygiene care.
WARNING: All rails must be closed with end
stoppers or connected to other closed rail
components. Before use, make sure all end
stoppers are in place. A wrong installation of
these items might lead to a patient fall and to
injuries.
WARNING: The lift must never be operated
by the patient. In the unlikely case of a
failure, the patient might get stuck in the unit.
The attachment point
designation shown here are
only for the purpose of the
explanations below.

WARNING: Method 2 might not be suitable
for confused, combative or erratic patients
as they can fall forward and get injured.
WARNING: Method 3 might not be suitable
for patients with no upper body control as
they can slide down and almost out of the
sling.
