RoMedic HighBackSling Disposable Manuel D'utilisation page 5

Application of the sling when the patient is lying in bed, on a stretcher or on the floor
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
should be high enough so that the sling supports the head
and the lower edge is level with the tailbone. Place 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.
Turn the patient back onto the sling and pull out the head
support, back section and leg support.
Removal of the sling when the patient is recumbent
System
I F U
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.
Cross the leg supports and hook them to the slingbar.
Start raising the lift, when the straps become taut,
stop and check that everything is ok before
proceeding with the lift.
Lay the leg supports between the
patient's knees.
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.
