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 Original HighBack Sling Mod. 20/21 made of net polyester
or cotton.
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.
