Fitting the Sling from a Recumbent Position
1
Using good manual handling techniques, roll the patient towards you so that you are positioned on their
side. To introduce the sling, ensure that the handles are on the outside of the sling and roll half of the sling
up under itself so that the patient is rolled onto their opposite side. The sling can be rolled out until it is flat.
Tuck the rolled up side against the back of the patient's body ensuring that the bottom of the sling is 2 - 3
inches above the knee joint.
2
Carefully roll the patient onto the sling far enough so that the sling can be fully unrolled and the patient laid
flat and central on the sling. Pass each leg strap through the corresponding loop on the pommel according
to the illustration above.
