Important!
Never hook the
guide loops to
the slingbar.
Turn the patient towards you and fold the sling in under the patient so
that the fabric slides towards you when you pull it out after you have
turned back the patient.
1. Turn the patient towards you. Place the
sling so that the product label is facing
the underlying surface and the sling's
mid-section follows the spine. The upper
edge of the sling's back section should be
at shoulder height and the lower edge level
with the tailbone. Place the edge of the
sling as far in under the patient as possible.
Push the back-section loop under, so that
you can reach it once you have turned the
patient back onto the sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient's back and place the
leg supports between the patient's knees
when he/she is turned towards you, and
then pull them forward when the patient is
lying on the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling and
pull out the back section and leg support.
The leg supports are now overlapped
under the patient.
4. Pass the leg support through the guide
loops on the edge of the sling.
Start raising the slingbar, and then stop
to ensure that everything is as it should
be before lifting the patient from the
underlying surface.
