1. Turn the patient towards you. Place
the sling so that the product label is
facing the underlying surface and the
sling's mid-section follows the spine.
The upper edge of the sling's back
section should be at shoulder height and
the lower edge level with the tailbone.
Place the edge of the sling as far in
2
under the patient as possible. Push the
back-section loop under, so that you can
reach it once you have turned the patient
back onto the sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient's back and place the
leg supports between the patient's knees
when he/she is turned towards you, and
then pull them forward when the patient
is lying on the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling
and pull out the back section and leg
support.
4. Cross the leg supports and hook them
to the slingbar.

1. Lay the leg supports between the
patient's knees.
2. Turn the patient towards you and fold
the sling in under the patient so that the
fabric slides towards you when you pull
it out after you have turned back the
2
patient.
