Standaid Sling

Introduction

The Delu xe St a ndi n g sli ng is an easy t sl i ng su ita b le fo r stan din g and su ppo r t ing . It is no t a ge n era l

purpose sling and clients should be assessed as to their suitability. The Deluxe Transport sling is

an easy t general purpose sling giving full support to most clients. It will not suit double amputees

or lifting from a horizontal position.

How to Use the Deluxe Standing Sling

English

Place sling down behind client’s back between base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib cage. Attach strap around the front of the client. This strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid. Ensure that the client’s arms are outside the sling.

NOTE: THIS SLING IS NOT A GENERAL-PURPOSE SLING AND WILL NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL CLIENTS.

Position Standaid so that the client’s feet t in

the foot trays and knees rest against the knee pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling to the white hooks at the end of the hand grips. The client’s hands should be placed on the black hand grips or support handles. (Once the client is used to the lift, the shorter loops may be used

to achieve a more upright position). Then push

the up button on hand control to raise the client to the standing position.

TIPS FOR USE:

CLIENT SHOULD BE ASKED TO LEAN BACK INTO THE SLING FOR THE DURATION OF THE LIFT.

TALLER CLIENTS MAY NEED TO USE SHORTER LOOPS ON THE SLING FROM THE START.

SHOULD THE CLIENT START TO LOSE TRUNK CONTROL YOU WILL FIND THAT THE SLING WILL SLIP UP BENEATH THE ARMPITS MAKING THE LIFT UNSAFE. IN THIS SITUATION THE TRANSPORT SLING CAN BE USED PROVIDING A RISK ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED.

How to Use the Deluxe Transport Sling

Standaid Sling

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 across the client’s base.

Attach the strap around the chest of the client. This strap need not be tight, it is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid. Ensure client’s arms are on the outside of the sling.

Raise the client’s leg and feed the leg strap under, and then up between the legs. Ensure that the sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Attach the loops on the top of the sling to the white hooks at end of hand grips.

ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES

Without crossing loops on the leg straps, attach

to left and right black knobs on the lifting fork(s).

You would normally use the middle of the three loops. You are then ready to raise the client from the seat and transport. Once clear of the seat, the client will be more comfortable if lowered back to sitting position.
