ABSTRACT:
A sling for lifting a handicapped person and method utilizing the sling are provided. The sling is fabricated from a pair of tubular members which are retained in spaced relation by a channel member integral with the tubular members with which they are pivotally mounted. An overhead sling having a rigid portion and a flexible portion supports each of the tubular members while maintaining head clearance for the person who is using the sling. The sling also contains a lifting eye which is secured to the rigid portion of the sling, a pair of leg slings mounted with the channel member for supporting the upper legs of the persons, and a pair of arm slings for supporting the persons' arms. Tie straps are secured to the tubular members and the arm slings to prevent the person's arms from flaying outwardly from the body.
