This Oxford Quickfit Deluxe sling with Padded Head Support is a development of the standard Quickfit sling design and is therefore suitable for use with the vast majority of patients, and suitable for use on the full range of Oxford patient hoists. The addition of contoured leg sections and of a padded head support on this Oxford Quickfit Deluxe Sling provide additional hip and thigh support compared to the divided, straight leg design of the standard Quickfit sling, allowing better hip and pelvic positioning for the user, as well as providing a supportive and comfortable position for the neck and head.
This sling is a comfortable general use transfer sling and has been designed to not only provide maximum user comfort, but also, ease of use for the carer. To this end the sling has been designed for quick and easy positioning behind the patient and has the benefit of added positioning handles for easy patient repositioning. The attachment loops on this quickfit sling are colour coded to ensure correct and safe positioning at all times, when attaching to the hoist.
All Oxford slings are coded using a simple colour-coding system that ensures the size of your sling is instantly recognisable. The outer-edge binding of the sling is colour-coded as follows, red for small slings, yellow for medium slings, and green for large slings
Oxford slings are machine washable at up to 85 degrees Centigrade and can be tumble dried on a cool setting.
