Fitting Instructions

Feed the sling down the back of the patient leaving the top of the commode aperture at the base
of the spine. Check the roll part of the sling is square across the patient's back. Attach the support
strap around the chest of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in
position while attaching the loops to the Standaid. It may be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure
patient's arms are on the outside of the sling (refer to Fig. C, page 13).
