English
Raise the patient's leg and feed the leg strap under and up between the legs. Ensure the sling is
not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Attach the loops
on the roll parts of the sling to the white hooks at the end of the handgrips. Without crossing the
loops on the leg straps, attach to left and right hooks on the lifting fork. You would normally use
the middle of the three loops. The patient is now ready to be raised from the seat. Once clear
of the seat, the patient will be more comfortable if lowered back in to the sitting position. Joerns
Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly before use for signs of
fraying or damage. Do not use slings that are worn or damaged.
Standing Sling
Fitting Instructions
Place the sling down behind patients back between base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib
cage. Attach the support straps around the front of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It
is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid. It may be left off
altogether if preferred. Ensure that the patient's arms are outside the sling (refer to Fig. A, page 13).
NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each sling.
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly before
