Fitting the Sling from a Seated Position
The comfort sling is fitted to the patient in the traditional
way. Fitting from the seated position requires the carer to
raise the clients leg and feed the leg support piece under
and up between the legs. Repeat this procedure for other
leg. Ensure the sling is not twisted or creased under the
thigh. Bring both leg pieces together and feed through
the modesty strap.
Position the rear section of the sling up and around the
shoulders and head, the client is then ready for lifting.
