This quick to fit and easy to remove toileting Sling is more like a bosun’s chair than a conventional lifting Sling. The advantage of this Sling is that it is easy to undress Patients while in the Sling and it saves two unnecessary lifts to put a Patient on a bed to undress and dress them. It can also be left behind the Patient without adverse pressure problems, but as it is such an easy Sling to put on and remove, most Carers will remove the Sling rather than leave it behind a Patient.
Main Features
Simple to fit and remove
Good toileting Sling with hygiene access
Saves two unnecessary lifts
The Sling can pick up from the floor or a bed. However, as it does not have a head section, a Carer should support the Patient’s head until they have been lifted into the sitting position. Webbing handles are provided at the back of the Sling to help guide Patients into chairs. However, as the Patient is already in a good sitting position, they could be lowered directly into a chair. This is particularly helpful if the chair has positioning inserts.

Notes
Standard White
Nylon
This is called a solid material, as it is not a Mesh or Netting material that has holes in the material. The Nylon has some slipperiness, to make it easier to slide down behind a patient’s back, when they are sitting in a chair.
Blue Mesh
Polyester
This is a soft and comfortable Mesh with small holes. The holes can be cooler for the patient. Sometimes this material will be used for showering or in a bath.
Please select the most appropriate material and sling design for the patient, but remember, if the patient’s condition changes, it may be necessary to use a different material and design of sling. See the FAQ tab for more information.
