This is general purpose designed patient Sling with head support, and is available in a variety of materials (see the FAQ’S tab).
Main Features
General purpose design
Split legs
Head and back support
All webbing is sewn on the outside of the Sling, away from the patient to prevent pressure against the Patient’s skin. Tuck the back of the Sling down behind the patient’s back so that the bottom edge of the Sling is next to the Patient’s coccyx.
The stitches in the middle of the back section should be parallel to the Patient’s spine.
The foam padded leg sections help make the Sling more comfortable. When fitting the leg sections, pass the webbing from one section through the webbing sewn on the other leg section.

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.
Polyester Blue
Polyester
A comfortable, solid material, like the Nylon material, but not as slippery.
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.
