Demonstrating lifting a patient in supine position (for bed change and moving patients bed to bed, etc) and turning a patient using the Reposition Sling. A 4 point spreader bar attached to a hoist (or ceiling lift) is used for this. The use of this sling greatly reduces the number of staff required and body stress for these moves.
