Available Patient Lift Slings
Access Sling for Toileting
Use: Toileting and Hygiene Procedures
This style offers a large opening around the seat to facilitate toileting and hygiene functions.
Example:
- Invacare Toileting Sling, R121, features a divided leg sling design to create an opening for undressing and toileting needs. The polyester material is washable and has a brushed lining to prevent sliding during the transfer.
U-Sling
Use: General Patient Transport
A U-shape design makes it easier to slide underneath the patient. The minimal U-shape design creates a quick fit application that typically does not offer neck support unless the brand offers options with neck support for when the patient doesn't have neck strength during the lift.
Example:
- Hoyer Padded U-Sling, 70000, is padded for additional comfort. Depending on the size, it can support a patient's weight up to 600 pounds.
Full-Body Support Sling
Use: General Patient Transport
A full-body sling is also referred to as a square sling since it has higher backing to give head support. When the patient has limited upper and lower body strength and head control, this enables secure lifting in a lying position or seated position.
Example:
- Invacare Full Body Sling, R112, has a padded lower section and soft brushed lining to prevent slipping and protect the skin at the head and neck.
Full Body Sling With Commode Opening
Use: General Patient Transport and Toileting
A full body sling with a commode opening will provide general transfers and lavatory transfers without having to change the sling type.
Example:
- Invacare Full Body Sling with Commode Opening, R114, has a four-point hook-up and soft mesh fabric with a large commode opening. The material is quick-drying and machine-washable.
