Our new sling range has been designed to provide a safe, supportive and comfortable transfer for the client. 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.

One of the most important factors to perform a safe transfer is the match between hip/trochanter width and and the measurement of the sling’s opening between the leg support. If between sizes the smaller size may keep the client more secure.
