Transferring Patient from a Supine Position
The techniques described here can be used for transferring patients regardless of where they may be
laying down (e.g. in a bed, on the floor or stretcher).
Roll the patient in caregiver’s direction, onto their side, fold
the sling in half and place it on the bed or on the floor,
along the back of the patient so that the base of his spine
is aligned with the base of the sling.
Roll the patient back onto the sling and then slightly further
in the opposite direction, so that the folded part of the sling
can be unfolded.
If possible, slightly raise the head of the bed.
Position the Maxi Sky 2 directly over the patient.
Connect the shoulder loops, and then the leg section using
one of the three methods previously described.
Raise the patient using the hand control.
WARNING: Make sure that the bed safety side is
installed to prevent the patient from falling.
WARNING: Using the hand control, lower the
spreader bar taking care not to lower it onto the
patient. Injuries could occur.
WARNING: Always confirm that the loops are correctly
attached and remain in tension as the weight of the
patient is gradually taken up. This will prevent a patient
fall.
