Carefully turn the patient onto the side and place the sling’s
edge under the patient with the lower edge
level with
the coccyx.
Fold the sling so that its centre back strap
corresponds to the patient’s spine when the patient is
turned back again gently. Carefully pull the sling out from the
other side.
Lifting from the floor with Liko’s mobile lift Golvo is described below. The same technique is suitable also for lifting with Liko’s
other mobile and stationary lifts. Read the Instruction Guide for the lift being used.
Tip:
A pillow under the patient’s head could be comfortable.
Check that the sling lies symmetrically under the patient;
adjust the position if necessary.
Place the leg supports under the legs.
Lifting from the Floor
Lifting to the Floor
When lifting to the floor, the wheels of the lift should not be locked. When the patient touches the floor, the lift should be
pulled backwards to give space for the head.
Tip:
If lifting is to a thinner gym mat, the lift can be pushed in under this mat, so
that the mat acts as a soft protection between the lift and the patient. If the sling is to be removed, see ”Removing the Sling
when the Patient is Lying in Bed”, page 10.
Lift the patient from the floor. The patient can
be rotated slightly to avoid the head’s getting to close
to the mast.
Smooth out the leg supports under the patient’s legs. Keep the
leg supports away from the groin to prevent discomfort to the
patient. This is facilitated if the patient bends the legs.
See page
5-6 for instructions on how to attach the sling loops to different
sling bars.
The mobile lift should be locked when lifting with
the patient’s head against the lift.
