to ensure that the correct sling choice, method of positioning in the sling and procedure for transfer
has been determined for the patient.
• CHECK sling and stitching before each use. Using bleached, torn, cut, frayed or broken slings is
unsafe and could result in serious injury or death to the patient.

Ensure the sling positioning handles and label are
on the outside and feed the sling down the back of
the client, leaving the lower edge of the sling body
at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square
at the shoulders.
Move the hoist into position before crossing over
the leg straps and attaching to the hoist on the front
hooks of the spreader bar. An integrated modesty
loop on the leg section is also available for increased
patient dignity.
Introduction
The Oxford Quickt Glide sling is a general-purpose sling designed for quick and easy application. The leg and
spine sections incorporate Oxford’s Silkt™ material providing a low friction surface for ease of tment. The Quickt
Glide sling is available with or without head support.

Raise the client’s leg and carefully feed the leg
section under and up between the legs. Ensure that
the sling is positioned comfortably and not twisted
or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure
for the other leg.
Ensure the sling remains comfortable under the
legs and raise the hoist slightly if required before
attaching the shoulder straps to maintain an upright
seated position. The hoist may move towards the
client as you do this. When reseating the client, use
the sling positioning handles to help achieve a safe
and comfortable position.
NOTE: Sling positioning handles are designed for
turning a patient only and must not be used for lifting.

GOLDEN RULE:
In order to achieve an upright seated position,
go long with the leg straps and short with the
shoulder straps.

Fitting the Sling from a Lying Position
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 oor.
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.
