Transfer Stand-Assist Sling

Use an Invacare approved sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted. 

Standing Slings - Individuals that use the standing sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight, otherwise injury can occur. Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the standing sling is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient's arms are outside the standing sling. 

The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury
