With the palm of your hand, press the
lower edge of the sling down to the
patient’s coccyx,
this is very important
.
Correct positioning is facilitated if the
patient leans forward somewhat.
Place the sling behind the patient’s back
with the product label facing out.
Fold the lower edge over your fingertips
to make it easier to guide the sling into
position.
It is recommended that two caregivers assist with the application of the sling according to ergonomic principles. Normally, the patient
should be leaned forward somewhat during application, and one caregiver must stand in front of the patient to prevent him/her from
falling forward.
Pull the leg supports out alongside the out-
side of the thighs.
Helpful hint:
By placing
your palm between the body and the leg
support, you can guide the leg support’s
lower edge strap down to the seat. At the
same time, pull the leg support forward
with your other hand to stretch it out.
