Sling Application

Lifting the patient from a sitting position
1. Turn the sling so that the label faces
upward, away from the patient.
2. Place the sling behind the patient's back.
Draw the sling down so that its lower edge
is level with the patient's coccyx. Make
sure the sling is centred over the shoulders
and back.
3. Pull the sling's leg parts forward so that
they are fully extended.
4. Pull the leg parts up between the patient's
legs. Pull the leg part´s lifting straps to
make sure they are the same length. Make
sure the leg parts are not crumpled.
5. Lower the hanger bar to the height of the
patient's stomach. Attach the sling's lifting
straps to the hanger bar. Hold the hanger
bar away from the patient's face with one
hand as you raise it above the patient's
head. See section "Attachment options for
leg support" for different ways of attaching
the sling to the hanger bar.
6. Check that the sling is correctly attached
to the hanger bar once the lift straps are
stretched, but before the patient has left
the surface.
