If the TurningSling is to be left under the patient after turning, one side of it must
be secured to an appropriate part of the bed frame.
The loose strap with Velcro is secured to one side of the bed frame and the loop
to the other side.
Guide the strap with Velcro through the loop and fasten the Velcro.
Check to ensure that it is securely fastened by applying tension to the strap.
Prepare the patient for turning.
Raise the bed side rail on the side towards which the patient is to be turned.
Hook the loops to the slingbar. Begin turning, but pause and check to ensure that
everything is as it should be. Continue turning until the patient is lying on one side.
Note! Straps with Velcro strips must not be fastened to the slingbar!
Allow the lift to hold the TurningSling in position to provide back support for the
patient during the hygiene/dressing procedure.
Note! The product may only be used for turning patients.
Place two EasyGlide Ovals under the patient.
Place the TurningSling between the sliding boards and
the underlying surface. Then, pull the TurningSling down
behind the patient's back.
Remove the sliding boards.
