Loop Sling Attachments - Loop Type Spreader Bars:
Please note there are many variations of the loop type
spreader bar but they should all be used exclusively
by slings with: LOOP SLING ATTACHMENTS

Lateral Transfer:
To facilitate a lateral/supine transfer connect the 12
straps, starting from the head moving down the body
towards the toes.
Ensure that each strap is securely fastened on to the lift
spreader bar.
Where possible, once lifted, consider repositioning the
bed by executing a lateral lift just above the bed then
repositioning the bed beneath the patient.
If positioning the bed is not an option use a slide sheet
inserted between the mattress and the repositioning
sheet for glide.
Attach the rst 2 straps on both sides of the sheet to
the spreader bar (patient’s shoulders should be raised
slightly using the lift) allowing the carer givers to draw
the patient up the bed in a slow controlled action.
This procedure will help to assist the caregivers in
repositioning the patient higher up the bed.
Before executing the full transfer raise the patient a few
inches above the bed and check that the patient is not
experiencing any discomfort.
Check patient’s head position to ensure clear airways.
You may wish to leave the pillow in place within the
sheet. Check that all attachments are stable and fully
secured before transfer.

Repositioning higher up the bed or repositioning patient centrally:

1
The Repositioning Sheet can be used to facilitate a
‘log-roll’ movement, which will give access for personal
care, to change patient’s position for help in assisting
with pressure management and to aid bedding change.
A slide sheet can be used underneath the Repositioning
Sheet to allow a smooth glide when repositioning the
patient back into the center of the bed, after the patient
has been rolled.
Once repositioned use either a wedge or a pillow to
support the patient. Always remove the slide sheet once
the maneuver has taken place.
NOTE: This maneuver is NOT suitable for single
handed care.
Turning/Log roll:
2
Position the patient’s leg at a bent angle (on the
opposite side to the expected roll).
Attach top 5 straps on one side of the sheet (opposite
side to the turn) starting at the head.
Caregivers should be positioned on either side of the
bed to ensure patient safety.
Gently raise the sheet and guide the patient on to their
side and gently reposition in the center of the bed.

General Instructions: Warning
Do not attempt to transfer the patient until
all appropriate sling attachments are secured to
the lift spreader bar and you are satised that the
sling is the correct style, size and t for the patient.
Correct sizing of a sling is important as a sling that is
too large could cause the patient to slip through the
aperture.
While every attempt is made to instruct a safe move
you must conform to the current moving and handling
procedures/regulations. If in any doubt, consult your
Moving and Handling Advisor.
Service Label & Sling Checks:
All products should be checked each time they are
used for any signs of deterioration.
The service label is a visual guide to the product’s
check. Please conduct a thorough sling check in line
with current safety requirements in your country.
If in doubt consult your distributor for current sling
checking protocols.
A risk assessment must be carried out to ensure
that the correct size and style of sling has been
met before use.
Pre-use sling check list:
• braiding/straps for deterioration and fraying
• material for holes/snagging
• compatibility with the lift
• safe working load of both the lift and sling/
product (if applicable)
• label is legible
Remove from use immediately if there are any signs
of deterioration to the sling or straps or the label
is illegible.
Washing Guidelines:
• Follow laundry temperatures for washing and drying
detailed on the product label.
• Always ensure that all Hook & Loop fastenings are
fully closed before washing.
• All products should be laundered using non-
biological detergents.
