Sling Application

Lifting the client from a lying position (leg
sections overlapping)
1. If possible, raise the client's back sup-
port so that the client is in a semi-sitting
position. Move the sling down behind the
client's back until it reaches the coccyx.
Take note of the marking on the sling "This
way out, back".
Alternative: Lay the client on his/her side.
Position the sling so that the centre of the
sling lines up with the client's spine. Roll
the client over onto his/her other side and
pull the sling through.
2. Pull the leg sections of the sling under
both the client's legs so that they overlap.
Make sure that the leg sections are fitted
properly. Thread the leg section lifting
straps through the special straps on the
inside and outside of the sling. Lower the
lift to the height of the client's stomach.
Attach the back section and leg section
lifting straps to the hanger bar. Hold the lift
away from the client's face with one hand
as you raise it above the client's head.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
three-point suspension.
3. Pause in this position and check that all
the lifting straps are securely attached to
the hooks.
