LEAVE IN PLACE
The Comfort Care Sling is only available in spacer fabric. Slings
should only be left in place if they are made of spacer fabric. Other
fabrics will increase the risk of skin breakdown if left under the
patient for long periods of time.
APPLYING THE SLING
WHEN THE CLIENT IS LYING DOWN:
1. Assist the client to roll onto his or her side with hips and knees
flexed – have him or her help as much as possible.
2. Apply the sling to the client:
a. Drape the sling over the client while the client is in a
side-lying position with the hips and knees flexed.
3. Ask the client to roll onto his or her back then walk around
to the other side of the bed
a. Ask the client to roll
away from you just
enough that you can
pull the tucked flap
flat onto the bed
b. Ask the client to roll
onto his or her back
4. Locate the storage pouch
between the client's thighs.
This storage pouch (made
of Spacer Fabric) houses
the midline leg straps.
Thread the long leg straps
through the midline leg straps.
WARNING - Midline leg straps must
NOT bear the client's weight. The client
must be properly positioned in the sling.
