Lifting from Wheelchair to Toilet
Study the description and instructions for safety belt and its adjustment first. Prepare to undress the patient by first undoing
buttons and opening zippers.
Place the leg supports under the
patient’s thighs. Cross the leg supports
by drawing one leg support loop
through the other.
Move the sling bar forward and connect the loop
straps first. Then connect the upper strap loops,
and finally, the leg support loops. See page 6-7 for
instructions on how to attach the sling loops to
different sling bars.
Place HygieneSling behind the patient,
with the product label facing out about
halfway down the back. The soft-padded
upper edge should be just under the
armpits.
Lift the patient. Pull the patient’s
pants down as far as possible.
Lower to the toilet. Move the leg supports
aside and lower the patient’s pants even
further to enable better access.
