• User/patient should be in the center of the bed.
• Position user onto his/her side by rolling user towards you.
• Roll the sling in approximately half. The handle on the back section should face outward
when the sling is fitted.
• Position the sling under the user/patient so the commode aperture aligns with the base of
the spine and top of the sling close to the neck.
• Roll user onto the opposite side and position him/her on the flat section of the sling. This will
allow you to unroll the remainder of the sling from the other side of the user.

them up between the thighs.
• Raise the head of the bed if this function is available.
