Advantages
The SST Sling is
easy to put in place and use. The high friction coating on the patient side
prevents slipping. The two handgrips on either side allow a variety of
grips for a good working position. SST Sling is easy to carry and store.
Positioning
The SST Sling can be
positioned in numerous ways, depending on the transfer to be completed and the
circumstances of the patient.
Moving
from or to a bed
When helping someone
to lie down or sit up in bed (fig. 1), it can be hard to reach the shoulders and
the legs at the same time. The SST Sling is of great help in this
situation. Place it around the lower legs and/or behind the shoulders
(fig. 2).
Raising/lowering
If you are helping
someone get up or sit down, tilt the patient forward for a natural transfer.
Those who are unable or reluctant to bend are often heavy. By putting a
SST Sling around the hips, you can take on the weight of the patient along with
your own body weight (fig. 3 and 9). If the patient is resistant to
forward movement, place a SST Sling around the shoulders and a SST Belt around
the waist (fig. 4).
Moving
up in bed
When moving a
patient up in bed, most of the weight is usually on the hips. By putting
the SST Sling next to the hips (fig. 5), you obtain a good grip and a better
working position. A SST Slide Small may also be placed under the head and
shoulders (fig. 6). The patient then slides upward more easily and is able
to help out by pushing with the legs.
Lifting
a patient from the floor to a wheelchair or a bed
If a light patient
falls out of a wheelchair and is unable to get up, a SST Sling is of great help.
Place the SST Sling under the patient's buttocks. Support the patient's
back with your free hand (fig. 7). SST Sling also provides a good grip
around the legs when a SST Gurney is being used for lifting a patient on to a
bed (fig. 8).
Moving
up in a wheelchair
If the patient is
weak and has slipped forward in the seat, the SST Sling will take weight off the
patient's buttocks while you push against the patient's legs/knees to move
him/her back into the seat (fig. 9).
Transfers
between wheelchair and bed
A combination of
products may be the best solution when performing an uphill transfer of a heavy
patient who is unable to stand. In this example a SST Board, a SST Belt
together with a SST Sling make a big difference (fig. 10). After the transfer,
the SST Sling allows helpers to arrange the patient comfortably in bed (fig.
11).

Turning
in bed
When turning a
patient in bed, the hip is usually the heaviest part of the body. The SST
Sling provides low friction and a good grip (fig. 12).

Directions
