Liko™ OriginalSling • 7EN160165 Rev. 10
Lifting to the Bed
We recommend removing the sling after the transfer. If for some reason it is preferable to leave the sling in the bed after
transfer, we recommend using a Liko OriginalSling in net polyester.
Think about your own work posture as well as the comfort of the patient. Use the bed’s raising and lowering functions.
Removing the Sling when the Patient is Lying in Bed
Position the patient above the bed. Raise the head end of
the bed for the patient’s comfort. Lower the patient onto
the bed. Lower the head end.
Place the leg support loops under the leg supports between
the patient’s legs.
Grasp the edge of the sling. Push in the sling under itself.
Press the sling against the mattress and in under the
patient.
Carefully turn the patient onto the side. Grasp the sling
from below and remove it carefully.
Removing the Sling when the Patient is Sitting in Bed
Position the patient above the bed.
Raise the head end of the bed for the
patient’s comfort. Lower the patient
onto the bed.
Remove the leg supports by pulling out
the leg support loops under the fabric
part of the leg support.
Tip:
This is
facilitated if the patient’s legs are bent.
Remove the sling by carefully pulling
it up.
