Pivot with Clips Sling
The sling is fitted to the patient in the traditional way. Fitting
from the seated position requires the carer to raise the clients
leg and feed the leg support piece under and up between
the legs. Repeat this procedure for other leg.
Ensure the sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh.
Bring both leg pieces together and feed the right leg through
the modesty strap located on the opposite leg.
Position the rear section of the sling up and around the
shoulders and head.

Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
Safely position the client onto the sling, ensuring that the top of the commode aperture is at the base of the spine.
Carefully feed the leg sections under and up between the patient’s legs, ensuring that the sling is positioned
comfortably and not twisted or creased under the thighs. Configure the leg straps in the same manner as with
the seated position above.
