Lift and movement to and from bed
Lift from bed
Roll user onto her side. Put the folded sling behind
her back. The centre of the sling should be parallel
with the users spine. Roll her then onto her back.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown in illustration above.
Cross the loops one through the other.
If the user has a bed which enables raising
and lowering, it should be lowered before the
lifting starts.
Position the legs under the bed with the suspension
over the user. Be careful not to lower the suspen-
sion too low touching the user. Make sure that the
suspension is centred over the user before you start
the lifting. Remember - the castors should not be
locked.
When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension,
raise the user carefully.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely
fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling
If the user is in a hospital bed, it will help to
raise the head of the bed
Repositioning of the user may be needed to ensure
that a safe and comfortable sitting position is attained
as the user is raised. Reposition using the handle on
the back of the sling.
