Prevents Spread of Bacteria
This pack of five Disposable High Back Slings are intended for short-term use on singular patients. The sling is made from a durable, non-woven material that instead of laundering is discarded after use, when it becomes soiled or when the user no longer needs it.
Due to its disposable nature, the Disposable High Back Sling prevents the spread of multi-resistant and other types of infectious bacteria. This is in order to maintain the highest levels of hygiene, which is especially important in hospital and clinic environments.
Which Hoists Can I Use the Sling With?
This sling is designed with loop fixings. It is designed for easy and secure attachment to all hoists with loop fixing compatibility.
