Notice, in Diagram 2, that the Buttock strap MUST be used
with the Stand Assist sling. These slings are designed to
compliment one another in providing the greatest comfort
and security for the patient being transferred.
•
Push lift towards patient. Open the base of the lift. Apply
the brakes in both rear casters.
•
Proceed with lift and transfer as in Diagram 3.
LIFTING HINTS
•
Prior to beginning a lift have the patient lean slightly back and look at a 45 degree angle
to the ceiling; this help position the sling; this is recommended only at the start of a lift
•
Try the sling straps in various color positions to establish best fit
•
Always insure the same color straps on each side are attached to lift
•
Should patients have a larger girth in mid section or back side area try the optional buttock strap to
help with initial lift leverage
•
Remember this lift is designed for pivot transfers and it is not necessary to lift to full upright position;
as long as the patients body clears bed or chair and vice versa you can move the lift and place patient
in new position.
It is not uncommon for the strap to loosen and drop down as lift proceeds.
LIFT AND TRANSFER FROM BED
STEP 2
•
Fit sling as described in “Fitting Bestcare Stand Assist Sling”.
•
Push lift towards patient. Open the base of the lift. Apply the brakes in both rear casters.
•
Position patient’s feet on the foot platform and knees against the knee pad.

them hold their arms around the chest.
•
Press the “UP” button on the hand control.
•
Before the patient’s body has lifted from the bed, stop and make sure the sling is secured and
patient’s knees are against the knee pad.
•
The patient should be comfortable with the pressure under the arms. If not, adjust the sling and
try another loop option to release pressure.
•
Press the “UP” button until the patient’s body has completely left the bed.
•
Transfer to another object can be done at this position without the patient attending a full
standing position.
