Flexible Netted Lifting Sling

The Flexible Netted Lifting Sling meets the need for full body support and, in a flexible way, follows the contours of the body and gives the patient a sense of security as they are being lifted. It is designed for use in most common lifting situations, such as sitting transfers between bed and wheelchair, and is especially designed for users with deformities and users who need extra head support.

Airy, Net Fabric

The Flexible Sling has been manufactured from an airy, polyester net material that has been created to be left under the patient after transfer, meaning that the user remains sitting on the sling until they are lifted again. The material can withstand high temperatures of up to 85° during laundering.

Features of the Flexible Netted Lifting Sling

• Available in six sizes to accommodate individual users
• Divided leg supports for comfort
• Quick and easy for the carer to apply and remove
• High back; the user is supported from the tailbone to up over the head
• Made of airy polyester net that can be left in a wheelchair or moulded seat after completed transfer
• Keeps the patient in a slightly reclined position
• Particularly suitable for users in moulded seats

Pliable Support for Patients

This sling is flexible and pliable around the body in order to provide the user peace of mind that they are being lifted safely. The Flexible Netted Sling has been created to facilitate common seated transfers, such as from bed to wheelchair and vice versa, but also is also suitable to use for lifting from a recumbent position on the floor.

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.
