Lying position - Sling application
We suggest the use of the Immedia SlingOn
to apply the MediumBack PLUS in a correct
and safe manner.
1. Fold the SlingOn in a way that makes it easy to slide and pull
underneath the patient. The SlingOn must be doubble-layered
with an opening at the top of the bed, this will make the applica-
tion of the sling more efficient.
2. Slide the SlingOn under the patients head, a caregiver on each
side of the patient should pull the SlingOn simultaneously down
until it is fully unfolded and covering the patients body.
3. Slide the sling between the two layers of the SlingOn, starting
from the top and working your way down.
4. Position the sling anatomically correct underneath the patient
before removing the top layer of the SlingOn. Raise the back
of the bed to make the patient have a sitting position before
performing the lift.
5. Make sure the lifting straps are
the same length on both sides and
that the sling is placed under the
users thighs without any creases.
Depending on the patients needs,
the central legstraps can be crossed
or not. If crossed, pull pne of the
loops through the other. Connect all
6 lifting straps to the suspension.
Not crossed
Remove the sling in reverse order
