Standing Sling
Place the sling down behind patient's back between base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib
cage. Attach the support straps around the front of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is
there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid. It may be left off
altogether if preferred. Ensure that the patient's arms are outside the sling.
NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each sling.
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly before
use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or damaged.
OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling and lift prod-
ucts are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specifi c guidance on sling
use and compatibility, please refer to the sling label or contact your local market distributor or
Joerns Healthcare.
Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the maximum
capacity of the lift.

5. Lifting with the Oxford Ascend

Position Standaid so that the patient's feet fit in the foot tray and knees rest against the knee
pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling to the grey hooks at the end of the Standaid hand
grips. The patient's hands should be placed on the handgrips. (Once the patient is used to the
lift the shorter loops may be used to achieve a more upright position). Then push UP button on
handcontrol to raise the patient to the standing position.
