HOYER RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE HOYER PARTS.

Hoyer slings and lifters are not designed to be interchangeable with other manufacturer’s products. Using other manufacturer’s

products on Hoyer products is potentially unsafe and could result in serious injury to patient and/or caregiver.

For the safety of the patient and carer; before using a sling a full risk assessment must be conducted to ensure that the

correct sling choice, method of positioning in the sling and procedure for transfer has been determined for the patient.

Check sling and stitching before each use. Using bleached, torn, cut, frayed or broken slings is unsafe and could result

in serious injury or death to the patient.

Destroy and discard worn slings. Do not alter slings.

Never leave a patient unattended.

HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION

Raise the client’s leg and feed the padded leg
piece under and up between the legs. Ensure that
the sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh.
Repeat this procedure for the other leg.

Feed the right leg support through the strap on
the left leg support. Cross over leg straps, pass
one leg strap through the other and attach to hoist
on front hooks.

Raise lift to convenient height and attach the
shoulder straps as shown. You may then raise
the client to the required height. When seating
the client the hand grip on the back of the sling
may be used to ensure a good seated posture.

GOLDEN TIPS

1. THE CLIENT’S POSTURE
CAN BE ALTERED BY
ADJUSTING BOTH
SHOULDER STRAPS.

2. IF IN DOUBT, ATTACH TO
COLOURED LOOPS.

3. KEEP SHOULDER STRAPS
AT EQUAL LENGTH.
