Sling Application

Lifting the client from a lying position
1. Lay the client on his/her side. Position the
sling so that the centre of the sling lines
up with the client's spine. Take note of the
marking on the sling "This way out, back".
The bottom part of the sling must be
directly under the client's coccyx. Roll the
client over onto his/her other side and pull
the sling through. Lay the client on his/her
back. If the bed is height-adjustable, it is a
good idea to raise the head of the bed so
that the client is in a semi-sitting position.
2. Pull the leg sections through between the
client's legs. Lower the lift to the height of
the client's stomach. When a three-point
suspension is used, you should thread the
left leg section through the loop on the
outside of the right leg section. Attach the
leg section lifting straps to the leg hook
on the lift. Attach the back section lifting
straps to the lift. Hold the lift away from
the client's face with one hand as you raise
it.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
two- or four-point suspension. In this case
the loop on the right leg section is not
used and the leg sections are crossed.
3. Attach the neck support lifting straps to
the lift bar. Pause in this position and
check that all the lifting straps are securely
attached to the hooks.
