Positioning

Position SlingOn. The press studs in all four corners must

be fastened. Fold SlingOn at least as many times at there

is crossed stitching at the functional handles. Alternative-

ly, roll SlingOn until there is no excess material.

Position SlingOn under the client either from the head or

foot end.

Position SlingOn so that the open end faces away from

the client and the folded part is under the head, pillow

and shoulders.

Alternative method:

For some clients, it will be advisable to position SlingOn

under the small of the client's back.

To position SlingOn under the small of the client's back, the

SlingOn must be "zigzag-folded". The zigzag-folded Sling-

On is folded again (by about one third) and then pushed

under the small of the client's back. The carer on the oppo-

site side can easily grasp and unfold the SlingOn. Then the

SlingOn can be folded out (either upwards or downwards).

Use

After positioning the SlingOn, the user can be mobilised

or the sheet can be pulled down between the two layers.

Release the press studs. The sheet is then placed between

the two layers. The carers gently pull the sheet into

position (Illustration 3). Ideally, the leg straps are pushed

under the client between the two nylon layers.

To remove the top side of SlingOn: A carer grasps

the opposite corner and slowly pulls the top side out

(Illustration 4). The client can now be lifted in the sheet.

Use

Grasp the corner through both layers – the carer's palm is

facing the client with the SlingOn inside the carer's hand.

The carer can now "roll" SlingOn out under the client

(Illustrations 1 and 2). It will often be an advantage if

there are more than two carers, e.g. one carer to hold

SlingOn at the top while the remaining carers press down

on the mattress. Fold one wing out at a time.

In a chair:

Fold SlingOn as above, then push SlingOn down behind

the client's back (same technique as described above).

Release the press studs and pull the sheet down between

the two nylon layers until it is in the correct position.

Remove the nylon layer between the client and the sheet.

The client can now be lifted.
