1. Turn the patient towards you. Place the
sling so that the product label is facing the
underlying surface and the sling's mid-
section follows the spine. The upper edge of
the sling should be high enough so that the
sling supports the head and the lower edge
is level with the tailbone. Place the sling as
far in under the patient as possible. Push the
back-section loop under, so that you can
reach it once you have turned the patient
2
back onto the sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient's back and place the leg
supports between the patient's knees when
he/she is turned towards you, and then pull
them forward when the patient is lying on
the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling and
pull out the head support, back section and
leg support.
4. Cross the leg supports and hook them
to the slingbar. Start raising the lift, when
the straps become taut, stop and check
4
that everything is ok before proceeding with
the lift.
1. Lay the leg supports between the
patient's knees.
2. Turn the patient towards you and fold the
sling in under the patient so that the fabric
slides towards you when you pull it out after
you have turned back the patient.
