Fig. 46
Slide the straps under the patient where this can easily be
done. Lift the patient’s head and legs to facilitate this.
For straps which are held under the weight of the patient,
use the strap guide as follows:
Fig. 47
Thread the long section of the strap that is to go under the
patient through the strap guide as shown in the inset in
Fig. 48. Gently push the strap and guide under the patient
until the strap can be pulled clear and connected to the
opposite strap clamp (see Fig. 49). Slide the guide back
out from under the patient, keeping it under the
positioned strap.

If required, the straps may be passed under the pillow,
keeping it under the patient’s head for added comfort
(see Fig. 50).
