Stable and Secure
The Hygiene Sling facilitates quick and easy application and removal, and also makes for easy dressing and undressing patients in connection with visits to the toilet. It has a particularly high back to act as a sturdy base behind the head for those with reduced neck stability.
It features leg sections that keep them comfortable and supported during transfers. The nature of these leg sections also means that the patient does not sit on the sling, and instead the sling provides support from the tailbone up over the shoulders and under the legs.
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.
