How to Use the Deluxe Transport Sling
ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES
Raise the client’s leg and feed the leg strap
under, and then up between the legs. Ensure
that the sling is not twisted or creased under the
thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg.
Attach the loops on the top of the sling to the
white hooks at end of hand grips.
Without crossing loops on the leg straps, attach
to left and right black knobs on the lifting fork(s).
You would normally use the middle of the three
loops. You are then ready to raise the client from
the seat and transport. Once clear of the seat,
the client will be more comfortable if lowered
back to sitting position.

Feed the sling down the back of the client leaving
the top of the commode aperture at the base of
the spine. Check the sling is square across the
client’s base.
Attach the strap around the chest of the client.
This strap need not be tight, it is there to hold the
sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the
Standaid. Ensure client’s arms are on the out-
side of the sling.
