This General Purpose Sling is easy to use and will be suitable for a variety of lifting hoists. It features a wide design and padded legs for added comfort. Place the back of the sling behind the patient's back so the bottom is next to the coccyx area, ensuring the stitches are parallel with the patient's spine. The leg sections should go under the patient's legs, and the webbing should be threaded through the loops for secure lifting.

Important
Warning: Inspect slings before every use. If any damage is found, the sling must be withdrawn from service and repaired, if possible.
Warning: If you are leaving a sling made in the All Day Sling material under a person, always ensure that there will be no adverse pressure care issues. This includes checking that the attachment method (e.g. webbing loops, keyhole plates, etc.) are not positioned in such a way that may hurt the person. The actual material is very thin and it should not cause a pressure problem, but the patient's skin integrity should be regularly checked, just in case the sling is causing a pressure problem. If there are any early signs of pressure problems, discontinue using this design of sling.
Disposal: When the sling is ready for disposal, we suggest the lifting straps are cut off, so it cannot be used with another patient.
