Sling instructions

Lifting the client from a lying position,
recommended for Columbus Sling E-clip
1. Turn the client on his/her side. Position
the sling so that the center of the sling is
aligned with the client's back. Pay atten-
tion to the arrow symbol on the product
label (middle, top and outside of the sling).
The lower part of the sling must be posi-
tioned directly under the client's coccyx.
Turn the client on his/her back and pass
the sling underneath. Turn the client on
his/her back. If the bed is adjustable, it is a
good idea to raise the head end of the bed
so that the client ends up in a half sitting
position.
2. Pull the leg pieces of the sling between the
client's legs. Lower the lift's hanger bar to
the client's abdomen. Attach the clips to
the hanger bar. Attach the clips near the
shoulders first, followed by the clips near
the thighs.
3. Take a moment in this position and check
that all clips are securely attached to the
hanger bar. The dark grey parts are in
the closed position so that the clips are
secured.
4. Continue to lift the client. It may be nec-
essary to lower the bed slightly. Lift the
client's legs slightly and turn him/her away
from the bed. It is possible to put your arm
around the client as you move him/her to
create a greater sense of security.
When using the 4-point spreader bar, the
client can be moved into any position
between a recumbent and sitting position.
Using the electric 4-point spreader bar,
place the client in a sitting position when
he/she is above the chair or wheelchair or
into a recumbent position if the client is
above his/her bed.
