Fitting the Sling from a Seated Position
1
Ensure the hand grips and seams are on the
outside and feed the sling down the back of the
client, leaving the top of the commode aperture at
the base of the spine. Check the sling is square
at the shoulders.
3
Cross over leg straps and attach to the hoist on
the front hooks at longest loop. For additional
comfort we recommend the use of extension
bars as shown.
GOLDEN RULE: LONG IN THE LEG, SHORT IN THE SHOULDER
2
Raise the client's leg and feed the leg strap
under and up between the legs. Ensure that the
sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh.
Repeat this procedure for the other leg.
4
Check the sling is smooth under the leg and the
position is comfortable. Move the hoist into
position and attach the leg straps at the
penultimate loop. Raise the hoist and attach
the short loops at the shoulder to maintain an
upright sitting position. The hoist may move
towards the client as you do this. When reseating
the client, the hand grips may be used to ensure
good posture.
