FULL BODY, DIVIDED LEG AND TOILETING SLINGS
NOTE: Invacare recommends that two (2) assistants
(One [1] on each side of the bed) be used when
positioning the patient onto a sling.
2. With an assistant on each side of the bed and up
against the mattress, the assistant on the left-hand
side of the bed will position his/her RIGHT-HAND on
the elevated KNEE and his/her LEFT-HAND under
the patient's RIGHT SHOULDER, slowly push on the
knee and assist with a slight lift of the shoulder. The
patient will easily roll onto their side (FIGURE 5).
3. With the patient on their side, push the fabrics of the
seat and back gently under them (FIGURE 5).
NOTE: The patient's head should be positioned in
the headrest just below the top edge for maximum
comfort and the lower edge of the seat section
positioned a few inches above the back of the
patient's knees (FIGURE 4).
4. Roll the patient on to his/her back (FIGURE 6).
NOTE: Assistants will reverse roles.
5. After the patient has been positioned once again on
his/her back, you now need to roll the patient to their
RIGHT-SIDE (facing the assistant on the LEFT).
6. With an assistant on each side of the bed and up
against the mattress, the assistant on the right-hand
side of the bed will elevate the LEFT KNEE and posi-
tion his/her LEFT-HAND on the elevated KNEE and
his/her RIGHT-HAND under the patient's LEFT
SHOULDER, slowly push on the knee and assist with
a slight lift of the shoulder and the patient will easily roll
onto their side (FIGURE 6).
7. Pull the fabrics of the seat and back across the mat-
tress until they are smooth (FIGURE 6).
8. Roll the patient onto their back and they should be ap-
proximately centered on the sling section (FIGURE 6).
9. Position the lift for use. Refer to POSITIONING
