How to fit from a lying position
1. Prior to fitting on the patient pass each leg
webbing though the leg end loop
2. Using good manual handling techniques roll the person towards you so
that they are positioned on their side. To introduce the sling, ensure that
the handles are on the outside of the sling and roll half of the sling up
under itself so that when the person is rolled onto their opposite side,
the sling can be unrolled until it is flat. Tuck the rolled up side against the
back of the patient's body ensure that the bottom of the sling is 2"- 3"
above the knee joint and the aperture is central to the body, then
carefully roll the patient on to the sling far enough so that the sling can
be fully unrolled and the patient laid flat and central on the sling
3. Pass each leg webbing through one of the loops which are located in the
central leg funnel and then both shoulder and leg webbings should be
attached to the hoists carry bar. Ensuring that the same loop is used on
each side of the sling.
4. The four straps should now be attached to the carry
bar hooks. Raise the carry bar just enough to tension
the straps and ensure that they are still securely
attached. The person can now be lifted as required.
To remove the sling, carry out the fitting procedure in
reverse. Important – always peel the sling away from
the person – this avoids skin friction.
Washing Instructions:
• The sling can be machine or hand washed in a mild soap solution
• Temperatures up to 95'C with a final rinse.
• If tumble drying is necessary – use a low heat setting.
• DO NOT use any corrosive cleaning agents on the sling to clean
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid damage in laundering, please ensure any
Velcro products are closed prior to washing.
The safe working load and serial numbers are embroidered onto the slings
centre tab – DO NOT use this tab as a handle or for any lifting assistance.
Operating environment:
The slings are textile based and contain no electrical / electronic
installed systems. The slings are used, and can only be used, within the
same working environment as the mobile and ceiling hoists to which
they are an accessory for use with.
