– Is the lifting sling the right size?
The lifting sling is too small if the
leg supports do not reach at least
halfway down the inside of the
thigh and the slingbar is too close
to the face.
– Is the lifting sling positioned cor-
rectly? The lifting sling may not
have been pulled far enough down
the back when being fitted round
the user.
– Are all the straps lifting simul-
taneously? If the sling straps lift
unevenly, the sling may slide up the
user’s back, causing the user to slip
down into the sling hole.
– Ensure the leg supports are correctly
positioned on the thigh.
– Is the sling connected correctly
according to individual prescrip-
tion?
– Do separately connected leg sup-
ports increase the risk of the user
slipping out?
– If the user is wearing clothing made
of slippery material, does he/she
slide down/out of the sling more
easily?
