ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES
There is an increased risk of slipping out of the sling using this method of transfer.
Assess the patient’s capabilities carefully.
Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring
that the top of the commode aperture is at the
base of the spine.
Cross leg straps between legs and proceed to
attach sling as from the seated position using the
shortest shoulder strap possible. The longer you
attach the shoulder straps, the more reclined the
client will be.

Fitting the Sling from an Alternative Seated Position
For closed leg positions, straps may be crossed
under both legs and attached as shown. This can
provide additional comfort and can be used for
some amputees.
The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the
more reclined the client will be.
