Page 13: Loading In A Seated Position
LOADING IN A SEATED POSITION If the user is seated in a wheelchair, make sure the wheelchair is in a locked position before proceeding. If the user is in bed, either bring the head of the bed to the upright position or follow the procedure for loading in a recumbent position. -
Page 14: Loading In A Recumbent Position
LOADING IN A RECUMBENT POSITION If the user is in bed, make sure the surface is flat and adjusted to a comfortable working height. 1. Turn the user to face you and hold the sling sideways with the smooth side facing the user. -
Page 15: Positioning The Legs
POSITIONING THE LEGS Three leg positions are possible with the General Purpose Sling: open, divided and closed. The closed position is for transfers, the open and divided positions are for toileting and bathing as well as transfers. The closed position is often felt to be more dignified, controls muscle spasms and is beneficial for transfers of amputees. -
Page 16: Sling Care
The life of a sling, like that of any garment, depends on the manner and frequency of its use and laundering. Barton slings have a one year warranty. In normal institutional use, it is good practice to replace slings annually. -
Page 17: Transfers
TRANSFERS CHAIR TO BED TRANSFER Choose the appropriate sling for your resident and place it under them. (For more information on using slings please see the Slings section of this manual). Adjust the legs of the Ready Care Lift to straddle the chair. Use your left foot to push the left pedal of the leg adjustment to widen the legs to the correct width. - Page 18 TRANSFERS BED TO CHAIR TRANSFER Choose the appropriate sling for your resident. Turn the resident on their side and position the sling at their back. Spread one side of the sling out and turn the resident onto it and over further onto their side. Spread the other half of the sling out and turn the resident onto their back.
