Lifting from bed
Roll the patient onto his side. Put the folded
sling behind his back. The centre of the sling
should be parallel with the user's spine, and then
roll him then onto his back.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown.
TRANSFER FROM THE BED
Cross the loops one through the other.
NB : If the patient's bed can be lowered, it should be lowered
as much as possible before the lifting starts
Position the legs under the bed with the suspension over the
user. Be careful not to lower the suspension onto the patient.
Centre the suspension over the patient before you start
lifting. Remember that the wheels should not be locked.
