English
There is an increased risk of slipping out of the sling using this method of transfer.
Assess the patient’s capabilities carefully.
Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensur-
ing that the commode aperture is at the base of
the spine.
Cross leg strap A and B under and between the
legs and feed A through B. Feed C and D through
the long loops on A and B. Then proceed to attach
the sling to the spreader bar in the same way as
the sitting position.

Fitting the Sling from an Alternative Seated Position
For closed leg positions, straps may be crossed
under both legs and attached as shown. Ensure
leg straps C and D are passed through straps A
and B and attached to the spreader bar. This can
provide additional comfort and can be used for
some amputees.
The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the
more reclined the client will be.
