How to use Invacare Sling for Patient Lifts

1. With the patient sitting in a wheelchair one assistant in front of the wheelchair and the other assistant in the back of the wheelchair, lean the patient forward
2. Place the sling behind the patient (with "grab handle" on the outside) and bring the flaps out alongside the patient’s legs
   NOTE: For the Divided Leg sling, the back of the sling should be parallel to the patient’s upper arms and be positioned between the top of the patient’s head and the base of the spine
3. With the back of the sling positioned properly, push the bottom of the back section to the seat.
4. Lean the patient back into the wheelchair with the assistant in the rear supporting his/her weight.
5. Lift the patient’s legs (one at a time) and reach under the patient’s leg to pull the front of the sling until it is behind the patient’s knees (about 3 inches). The back of the sling should remain in position.
