Solo HighBack Sling  •  7EN160179 Rev. 6

Normally, one leg support is passed 

through the other to cross before they 

are hooked to the slingbar. Hang the 

upper strap loops on the slingbar, then 

the leg support loops. See page 4-5 for 

instructions on how to attach the sling 

loops to different sling bars. Lift the 

patient.

Guide the sling’s leg supports under each 

thigh. Make sure the fabric is smoothed 

out under the thighs and that it reaches 

properly around the legs.

Helpful hint:

 Applying light pressure to 

the kneecaps will allow you to pull the leg 

supports taut against the buttocks and 

smooth out any creases near the back. 

Make sure both leg supports reach equally 

far forward.

Lifting from a Horizontal Position

1. Turn the patient towards you to prevent 

the risk of him/her falling out of the bed. 

Place the lower edge of the sling as far 

down under the patient as possible, so 

that it is in 

level with the patient’s coccyx

.

 

Bunch the sling together in a couple of 

folds and lay it so that its “center of the 

back” corresponds to the position of the 

patient’s spine when he/she is gently 

turned back. Carefully work the sling out 

from the opposite side. Raise the backrest 

of the bed if available.

Consider your own working posture and the patient’s comfort. Use the bed’s raising and lowering functions when 

available.

NOTE!  

See illustration marked * on page 7.

3. If necessary, place a small pillow under 

the patient´s head. Hang the upper strap 

loops to the slingbar first, then the leg 

support loops. See page 4-5 for instructions 

on how to attach the sling loops to different 

sling bars. Lift the patient.

2. Slide the leg supports in place under 

the thighs. This is easiest if the knees are 

bent. Make sure the fabric is smoothed 

out under the thighs and that it reaches 

properly around the legs. The leg supports 

can then be hooked to the slingbar in 

different ways.
