3. FITTING THE SLING
3.1
FITTING IN A CHAIR
Before you start, check that the sling is in a safe and clean condition and is the correct size and
model for the person to be transferred.
3.1.1
Apply sling down the
back of the client to the
coccyx level. Ensure the
sling label is
outwards.
3.1.4
Hammocking the leg supports is ideal for above knee amputees.
Cross the leg suspension straps in front of the user before attaching
to the hoist to prevent the risk of falling forwards from the sling.
3.1.5
Attach sling to hoist as normal. As a guide, we suggest starting with a short shoulder/long leg
position, however it is recommended the care plan is followed.
