What's Included?
- 1 x Universal Hoist Sling
Please note: This sling is designed to work with a universal hoist, and will not function as a lifting aid by itself. Hoists are sold separately.
What Use Does This Patient Hoist Sling Have?
The sling is designed for use with universal patient hoists (sold separately), which are ideal for safe transfers and repositioning of patients with limited or impaired mobility. A universal hoist is one which functions well for patients with limited or fully impaired mobility, and requires very little to no physical effort from the patient.
With the Universal Patient Hoist Sling, patients can be picked up from a range of positions. It is even possible to lift them from floor level to a suitable height for transporting.
How Do I Use the Hoist?
To use this model, begin by comfortably positioning the patient into the sling, ensuring that it is secure and properly lined up with their body, and attach the sling to the hoist.
Who Is This Universal Hoist Sling For?
Ideal for use with passive patient hoists, this sling is designed to assist with lifting patients who have limited or reduced mobility. It is perfect for use during home-care, particularly for sole carers who may not have the physical support they need for patient transfers. The sling can also be used in clinical care environments for faster and simpler patient transportation.

Which Sling Size Should I Choose?
The sling size that's right for your needs will depend on the user's weight and height. The three sling sizes currently available are designed to suit a range of patients, from 100 - 210cm in height and 30 - 100kg in weight.
To discover the size that's right for you, start by measuring the user's height and weight, then compare the results to the table below. If the measurements collected fall between two sizes, it is best to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
| Sling Size | Patient Height | Patient Weight |
| Small | 100 - 150cm | 30 - 40kg |
| Medium | 100 - 210cm | 50 - 70kg |
| Large | 110 - 210cm | 80 - 100kg |
