4. Continue lifting the client. It may be
necessary to lower the bed slightly. Make
sure that the client's legs do not slide out.
It is a good idea to put your arm around
the client while you are moving him/her to
create a greater sense of security.
Lifting the client from a sitting position
(leg sections overlapping)
1. Pull the sling down behind the client's
back. Take note of the marking on the sling
(outside up). The bottom edge of the sling
must be behind the client's coccyx. Pull the
leg sections through to the front.
2. Pull the leg sections under both the client's
legs so that they overlap. Make sure that
the leg sections are fitted properly. Thread
the leg section lifting straps through the
special straps on the inside and outside of
the sling. Lower the lift to the height of the
client's stomach. Attach the back section
and leg section lifting straps to the hanger
bar. Hold the lift away from the client's
face with one hand as you raise it above
the client's head.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
three-point suspension.
