For more instructions about the use of various
slings, refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the sling, such as the
ArjoHuntleigh Sling Guide .
The lifting techniques described can be used for
seated patients regardless of where they may be
(on the edge of a bed, in a chair, a wheelchair,
etc.).

Using a Standing Sling
The top of the sling can be recognized by the
washing label which is located on the outside top
rim of the sling.
Encourage the patient to lean forward slightly to
enable the sling to be placed around his/her lower
back (see Fig. 13).
Position the sling around the patient’s back so
that the bottom of the sling lies horizontally about
two inches or five centimeters above the patient’s
waistline, with the patient’s arms outside the sling.
Ensure that the support strap is separated and
brought loosely around the body, and is not
twisted or trapped behind the patient’s back.

To fasten the support strap securely, press the
buckles (if available) or velcro (if available)
together. The strap must be tight, but not
uncomfortable for the patient (see Fig. 14).
Remember to tighten the strap once the patient
has been raised from the chair.
The sling may be applied before or after the
SARA LITE is brought into position.

The sling support strap will help to support the
patient in the sling during the lifting procedure.
The strap also keeps the sling in the correct
position around the patient.
Position the SARA LITE in front of the patient
(see Fig. 15).

fasten them securely by pulling the clips (see

WARNING: The sling chest support strap
must always be applied and fastened to
prevent a fall risk.
NOTE: Adjust the height of the patient
support arms to avoid approaching the
patient at eye level. Make allowances for
the patient’s arms and any obstructions,
such as chair arms, fixed handrails,
shower grips, etc.
