Flexible Hygiene Lifting Sling
The Flexible Hygiene Lifting Sling follows the contours of the body to give patients full support and a sense of security as they are being lifted. It has been designed for use in most common lifting situations, such as sitting transfers between bed and wheelchair, and also has a commode opening to facilitate transfers in connection with toileting. The undivided leg supports make it easy to lift users with deformities or those who need additional head support.
