Raise the client’s leg and carefully feed the leg
section under and up between the legs. Ensure that
the sling is positioned comfortably and not twisted
or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure
for the other leg.
Ensure the sling remains comfortable under the
legs and raise the hoist slightly if required before
attaching the shoulder straps to maintain an upright
seated position. The hoist may move towards the
client as you do this. When reseating the client, use
the sling positioning handles to help achieve a safe
and comfortable position.
NOTE: Sling positioning handles are designed for
turning a patient only and must not be used for lifting.
