Sling application – Sitting in chair or wheelchair
Lean the client forward ensuring that they are well supported to reduce the risk of falling and
to promote feelings of security.
Slide the vest down behind the back of the client in a central position aligned with the waist.
Sit the client back on against the sling. Picture 1.
Take the arms through the straps and fasten the vest round the clients stomach by using the
adjustable buckle. Picture 2.
Attach loops to the spreader bar or lifting strap
Attach the loops to the spreader bar or lifting straps. The sling can be used at spreader bars
with 2 attachment points. Please note, that for security and comfort reasons, the size (width)
of the spreader bar must correspond with the size of the sling. Invacare recommend that a
professional, prior to issuing lifting equipment, always carry out a risk assessment. If you are
in doubt about the use of Invacare's slings with other manufacturer's equipment, contact
Invacare®or you supplier for advice.
Before lifting the client, always check that both feet are placed on the floor for weight bearing.
Help the client to lean forward (in his natural way of movement) before beginning the lift.
