Placing The Slings - At The Bed - Guldmann 28650 Manual Del Usuario

7 .00 Placing the slings – at the bed
The Leg sling is placed beneath the
lower leg, where it is most appro-
priate for the care task to be done.
To lift the leg with the hip and knee
bent, place leg sling beneath upper
portion of calf below the knee; to lift
the leg with the knee straight, place
the sling beneath lower part of calf,
above the ankle.
The Leg sling is pulled under the
leg, taking care to keep a hand
between the sling fabric and user's
skin, and is placed beneath the
lower leg, so that even amounts
of sling are on each side.
The Leg sling is now mounted to
the lifting hanger.
