- 1 x Toileting and Bath Universal Hoist Sling
Please note: This sling is designed to work with a hoist, and will not function as a lifting aid by itself. Patient hoists are sold separately.
What Is The Function Of This Patient Hoist Sling?
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 functions well for patients with limited or fully impaired mobility, and requires very little to no physical effort from the patient.
This Toileting and Bath Sling makes quick transfers possible, and enables carers to assist patients to and from the bathroom with ease. The large cut-out at the back of the sling means that patients can use the toilet without being removed from the lifting aid. The sling is designed for easy donning and removal for help transferring patients into and out of the bath.
How Is This Lifting Sling Used?
To use this model, begin by comfortably positioning the patient into the sling, ensuring that it is secure and lined up with their body, and attach the sling to the hoist.
Who Is This Passive Hoist Sling Attachment For?

It is perfect for use in home-care environments, particularly by sole carers who may not have the physical support they need for patient transfers. The sling can also be used during clinical care for faster and simpler patient transportation.
