Quickfit Sling
Alternative Seated Position

For closed leg positions, straps may be crossed
under both legs and attached as shown. This can
provide additional comfort and can be used for
some amputees.
There is an increased risk of slipping out of the sling using this method of transfer.
Assess the patient's capabilities carefully.
