HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION
Make sure the hand grips and seams are on the
outside of the sling. Feed the sling down the back
of the patient, leaving the commode aperture at
the base of the spine. Check the sling is square
across the shoulders.
Pass strap C up through strap B then repeat for
other leg using strap D through strap A.
Bring the longest leg piece stiffener forward so
that it is parallel with the long bone of the thigh.
Ensuring that the leg piece is not twisted, take
the shortest leg piece stiffener under and up
between the legs. Repeat this procedure for the
other leg. Cross strap A through strap B.
Check the sling is smooth under the pateient and
the position is comfortable. Move the hoist into
position and attach the leg straps to the spreader
bar using the coloured loops. This maintains the
patient in an upright sitting position. The lift may
move towards the patient as you do this. When
reseating the patient the hand grips may be used
to ensure a good posture.

ALTERNATIVE SEATED POSITION
For closed leg positions, straps may be crossed
under both legs and attached as shown. Ensure
leg straps C and D are passed through straps A
and B and attached to the spreader bar. 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.
The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the
more reclined the client will be.
RECUMBENT POSITION
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring that the commode aperture is at the base of
the spine.
Cross leg strap A and B under and between
the legs and feed A through B. Feed C and D
through the long loops on A and B. Then proceed
to attach the sling to the spreader bar in the same
way as the sitting position.
Joerns Healthcare recommend slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or damage.
