Twin Turner - Applying Sling
A good tip:
Use of the Twin Turner sling as a helper for other slings or for therapy and rehabilitation
Did you know that the Twin Turner sling can be used to assist in applying another sling? For example when a patient in bed has difficulty turning and staying in a side-lying position.
Apply the Twin Turner sling with the patient in supine, turn and hold in a side-lying position with the Twin Turner, while placing a Repositioning sling, changing bed linen, or applying a Basic High sling for an out of bed transfer.
In this way, it is possible for a single helper to apply the sling – something that would otherwise require two people.
As seen in the video below the Twin Turner stays put during the transfer. When the patient is placed in the wheelchair you can remove the Twin Turner together with the other sling.
