Practical handling
Positioning
Position SlingOn. The press studs in all four corners must
be fastened. Fold SlingOn at least as many times as there
is a crossed stitching at each functional handle. Alternatively,
roll SlingOn until there is no excess material.
Position SlingOn under the user either from the head or foot
end.
Position SlingOn so that the open end faces away from the user
and the folded part is under the head, pillow and shoulders.
Alternative method:
For some users, it will be advisable to position SlingOn under
the small of the user's back.
To position SlingOn under the small of the user's back, the
SlingOn must be "zigzag-folded". The zigzag-folded SlingOn
Use
After positioning the SlingOn, the user can be mobilised or the
sheet can be pulled down between the two layers. Release the
press studs. The sheet is then placed between the two layers.
The carers gently pull the sheet into position (Illustration 3).
Ideally, the leg straps are pushed under the user between
the two nylon layers.
To remove the top side of SlingOn: A carer grasps the opposite
corner and slowly pulls the top side out (Illustration 4). The user
can now be lifted in the sheet.
Grasp the corner through both layers – the carer's palm is
facing the user with SlingOn inside the carer's hand. The carer
can now "roll" SlingOn out under the user (Illustrations 1 and 2).
It will often be an advantage if there are more than two carers,
e.g. one carer to hold SlingOn at the top while the other carers
press down on the mattress. Fold out one wing at a time.
is folded again (by about one third) and then pushed under the
small of the user's back. The carer on the opposite side can
easily grasp and unfold SlingOn. Then SlingOn can be folded out
(either upwards or downwards).
In a chair:
Fold SlingOn as above, then push SlingOn down behind the
user's back (same technique as described above). Release
the press studs and pull the sheet down between the two nylon
layers until it is in the correct position. Remove the nylon layer
between the user and the sheet. The user can now be lifted.
