Repositioning
Patients that are completely confined to bed need to be frequently repositioned. For some of those
patients, a repositioning sling could be permanently placed under the sheets.
Move Up in Bed
Position the Maxi Sky 2 directly over the patient.
Connect as many loops as possible to the spreader bar.
Make sure to distribute loops on both hooks.
Select loop length in order to lift the patient as straight as
possible.
Raise the patient using the Maxi Sky 2 until patient's hips
are supported and until it is possible to move the patient up
in the bed. Use a MaxiTube
®
sheet if needed.
Lower the patient down onto the new location.
When the patient's body weight is fully supported, detach
all loops.
Move the lift away from the patient.
WARNING: Using the hand control, lower the
spreader bar perpendicular or parallel to the patient
taking care not to lower the spreader bar onto the
patient, as this could cause injury.
NOTE: Supporting the head may be necessary for
some patients depending on their medical condition.
WARNING: When using the lowering function be careful
to not hit the patient with the spreader bar as this could
cause injury.
