The Bosun Chair Sling Side Straps can be used with the Bosun Chair Sling (sold separately). They give extra stability to patients who may not have enough trunk control or could lean sideways when in the sling. Simply lasso the longest loops of the Side Straps onto the space provided on the webbing belt on both sides of the sling. Experiment when lifting to get the most appropriate loop section to hang onto the hook on the hoist spreader bar.

Important
General Manual Handling Warning: Manual Handling products are designed to assist carers to help patients. They will not make the carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the carer or patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.
