How to Fit the Sling from a Seated Position

Ensure the hand grips and seams are on the

outside and feed the sling down the back of the

client, leaving the top of the commode aperture at

the base of the spine. Check the sling is square

at the shoulders.

Cross over leg straps and attach to the hoist on

the front hooks at longest loop. For additional

comfort we recommend the use of extension

bars as shown.

GOLDEN RULE: LONG IN THE LEG, SHORT IN THE SHOULDER

Raise the client's leg and feed the leg strap

under and up between the legs. Ensure that the

sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh.

Repeat this procedure for the other leg.

Check the sling is smooth under the leg and the

position is comfortable. Move the hoist into

position and attach the leg straps at the

penultimate loop. Raise the hoist and attach the

short loops at the shoulder to maintain an upright

sitting position. The hoist may move towards the

client as you do this. When reseating the client, the

hand grips may be used to ensure good posture.
