The longer you attach the shoulder straps, the more

Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
1
Draw sheet roll the client onto the sling, ensuring that
the lower edge of the sling body is positioned at the
base of the spine.
NOTE: For added safety and support, Joerns
Healthcare recommend the use of a head support
when lifting from the floor.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT'S
HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES

GOLDEN RULE:
In order to achieve an upright seated position,
go long with the leg straps and short with the
shoulder straps.
2
Carefully feed the leg sections under and up be-
tween the legs, ensuring that the sling is positioned
comfortably and not twisted or creased under the
thigh. Cross the leg straps, using the modesty
loop if required and proceed to attach the sling to
the spreader bar in the same manner as with the
seated position.
NOTE: The longer you attach the shoulder straps,
the more reclined the client will be.
