Use Of The Leg Sling - Mizuhosi 5943 Manuel Du Propriétaire

NOTE: In order to achieve the correct and final position of the pads, it may be
necessary to reposition the pads along the table frame after a patient has been
transferred. To do so, carefully lift the patient, release the pad locking lever; slide and
relocate the pad to the designed position and re-engage the locking lever.
Verify that the pad locking levers are latched securely in place. Failure to do so
may result in the pad bases breaking when the patient is being transferred on or
off the Jackson Spinal Surgery Top.
7.5.3 Apply the GentleTouch
described in the patient care kit instructions.
7.5.4 Attach either the two leg support sections or the leg sling to the table top.
The leg support sections are shown in Figures 36 and 37; the sling is
shown in Figure 38.

7.6 Use Of The Leg Sling

The leg sling may be used to support the legs on the Jackson Spinal Surgery Top in
place of the leg support sections (see Figure 38). The leg sling can allow for increased
hip flexion by allowing the patient's knees to be lowered below the frame of the Jackson
Spinal Surgery Top. When the sling is used, it is recommended not to use the thigh
pads as the increased hip flexion angle may increase the pressure on the anterior
aspect of the thighs. A patient properly positioned in a leg sling is shown in Figure 43.
The sling should be adjusted for each patient. The straps on the sling consist of a
double-sided hook closure that allows for infinite adjustment along the length of the
strap. To install the sling, place the sling over the frame of the foot end of the spinal top.
Feed the four straps through their respective buckles on the opposite side of the sling
and secure. The hook end of the strap may be folded over onto the loop portion of the
strap to allow for greater adjustability. The strap may be folded over itself again to
shorten it, thereby raising the sling and decreasing the hip flexion angle of the patient.
7.6.1 Place two (2) or three (3) pillows in the leg sling approximately where the
patient's lower legs will rest to help achieve the desired amount of knee
flexion. This can also be done when using the leg support sections.
