May be left underneath a patient in bed if they do not move frequently.

This sling is not suitable for people who need to be transferred to a commode or toilet.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Lifting from a Bed

With the patient lying in the centre of the bed, log roll them to position the Chair Pad Sling underneath.
The patient should be centred on the sling. The small pieces of black tape at the top and bottom indicate the middle for positioning.
The top edge of the sling should sit near the patient’s shoulders or head, depending on height.
Once positioned, attach the shoulder and thigh webbing to the hoist hooks.

Lowering into a Wheelchair

Use the grey soft padded pull-back handles on the sides to guide the patient’s bottom to the back of the chair during lowering.
The bottom edge of the sling should finish near the front of the seat.
Fold the top of the sling over the wheelchair backrest.
Attach the pull-back handles and shoulder webbing to the press studs on the back of the sling to prevent tangling in wheels.
Tuck the thigh webbing in alongside the patient’s legs.
