. The difference is that is has the added feature of full back support. It is also available in a variety of materials (see the Technical tab).
Main Features
Simple to fit and remove
Full back toileting Sling with good head support
Good hygiene access
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.
The Sling can pick up from the floor or bed. All sizes of the Bosun Chair Sling with Full Back come with grey side straps to help with lateral support for people who lean to one side. 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.
All Day Sling Material
Nylon
A strong, thin material with a Rip Stop thread in the material, to help reduce or prevent ripping. As the material is breathable the Slings can be left under the patients sitting in chairs. This reduces the need to remove the Sling after the patient has been hoisted into a chair, and then replace the Sling to pick them up again.
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.
