Practical handling

Positioning

The black webbing belt is fastened to a stable part of the
bed frame at the head end.
Attach the sheath to the webbing belt and feed it past
the handles, so that it glides without obstruction.

Use

Moving the user higher up in the bed

The user bends his/her legs slightly.

The OneManSling is pushed under the users legs and is
pulled until the sheath lies agains the users rear.

The rest of the webbing strap with the handles is fed to the
opposite side of the bed.

The assistant moves around to the opposite side of the bed
at the head end. The assistant positions a Multiglide under
the users pillow and pulls down so that it covers the users
shoulders.

Further glide devices can be added under the users rear
(and under the legs if the user is not able to bend at the
knee).

The assistant stands with one foot forward, grasps one or
two of the handles closest to the users hip and performs
weight transference (Illustrations 1 and 2).
The procedure can be repeated if necessary.

After manual handling, remove the Multiglide and feed the
OneManSling back to the opposite side at the head end,
where it can be stored until the next time.

Legs into bed

Attach the OneManSling to a stable part of the bed frame
at the foot end on one of the long sides (the same side as
where the user sits on the edge of the bed).

Feed the OneManSling under the users knees (closest to
the foot end) and around the ankle of the other leg, so
that the users legs are above the OneManSling.

When the user is ready, the assistant pulls the handles of
the OneManSling in the direction of the foot end.

Both the users legs are now pulled towards the foot end.
The assistant continues to move around the end of the
bed in an arch, ending up at the opposite side of the bed.

There is no need to lift the webbing belt. The assistant
simply has to move in an arch around the foot end.
When the assistant reaches the foot end on the opposite
side, she/he can continue to pull on the strap until the
users legs are in the middle of the bed.

For optimal gliding movement, a Glide Cushion or Multi­glide can be used at the edge of the bed at the foot end
under the OneManSling.

NB! If the user is unable to lay down the upper body by
him/herself, this manual handling must be carried out by
two assistants. The bedhead can be raised if necessary.
