Fold the sling as indicated above before use. The
grey side should be facing away from the user
when putting the sling in place. The sling should
be held by one hand, leaving the other free to
move and support the user.
Lift and movement to and from bed
Lift from bed
Roll user onto her side. Put the folded sling behind
her back. The centre of the sling should be parallel
with the users spine. Roll her then onto her back.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown.
Cross the loops, one through the other.
If the user has a bed which enables raising
and lowering, it should be lowered before the
lifting starts.
Position the legs under the bed with the suspen-
sion over the user. Be careful not to lower the sus-
pension too low touching the user. Make sure that
the suspension is centred over the user before you
start the lifting. Remember - the castors should
not be locked.
