Lifting from wheelchair to toilet
The description that follows applies to both models (40 and 41). Prepare for the undressing sequence e.g.
by unbuttoning buttons and loosening drawstrings.
Place the leg supports under the patient’s legs.
Cross the leg supports by feeding one leg support
loop through the other.
First connect the upper strap loops, then the leg
support loops on the slingbar.
Place the Hygiene Sling with its
product label at the center of the
patient’s back. The padded upper
edge should be just under the
armpits.
Arms on the outside!
Lift. Pull down the pants as far as possible.
Lower the patient onto the toilet. Fold away the leg
supports and pull down the pants further for better
accessibility.
Mod. 41:
Buckle the belt.
Mod. 41:
Adjust the belt so that it fits
around the patient’s upper body.
Do not further tighten the belt
once the patient has been lifted,
since this can cause the patient to be
strapped in too tightly once lowered.
