2. To ensure that the sling is correctly applied and that its mid-section is
aligned with the patient's spine, you can fold the back section up against
the patient's back.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling and pull out the head support, back
section and leg support. Connect the strap loops to the slingbar, starting
with the upper strap loops, and then the leg supports. Start raising the
slingbar, and then stop to ensure that everything is as it should be before

lifting the patient from the underlying surface.
1. 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-
2
section loop under, so that you can reach it
once you have turned the patient back onto
the sling.
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.
The sling's high back provides good head support
while allowing the patient to hold his/her arms inside
or outside the sling.
For the model with divided leg supports, usually, the
leg supports are crossed before they are hooked to
the slingbar.
