The range provides options for various models, sizes and fabrics to ensure the sling fits perfectly to each person, whether they have some mobility impairment or require full body and head support.

Our team of experts and occupational therapists have spent time ensuring the slings are intuitive and easy to handle for the carer. This leads to reduced application times and improved confidence.

The range consists of eight models, each in up to six sizes and up to two fabric options to choose from. This impressive selection ensures there is a sling suitable for everyone and for every use; daily transfer from bed to wheelchair/armchair, a toilet transfer or even for showering or bathing.

 


Selecting the right sling model

Always ensure the sling is specifically designed for the hoist you are using as failing to do so, may cause serious injury.
There are different types and sizes of slings available. Selecting the most suitable sling for your client will ensure safety and improve comfort during the transfer. You should consider:

  • Client’s functional level, size, width and weight
  • The type of transfer
  • Sling shape matching body control e.g. U-shape or full-body support
  • Any preferred position as the result of any medical condition e.g. stroke or amputation
  • Material type and any padding
  • Any sensitivity to pressure in any area

Selecting the right size

To select the correct sling size, the most important measurements are the hip width and back height in the sitting position. For slings with belts, the waist circumference is important, too.

The client’s weight needs to be considered mainly for the sling’s maximum safe working load. It’s inferior to indicate the right sling size.
If no head support is needed, the correct back height is from the lower back until the shoulder/neck. With the need of head support the measurement needs to include the head, too.
