Patient Slings

Q: What is a patient sling?

A patient sling is a supportive device used with a hoist or lifting system to safely transfer individuals with limited mobility. Slings cradle and support the body during lifting, making transfers more comfortable and secure for both the user and caregiver.

Q: What types of patient slings are available?

We offer a wide range including full-body slings, toileting slings, amputee slings, in-situ slings, and mesh slings for bathing. Each type is suited to specific needs such as general transfers, hygiene access, or use during showering.

Q: How do I choose the right size sling?

Slings are usually available in multiple sizes. Choosing the correct size depends on the user's weight, body shape, and level of support required. Size guides are provided with each product, and it’s important to ensure a snug, secure fit to avoid discomfort or slipping.

Q: Are your patient slings compatible with all hoists?

Most of our slings are compatible with standard loop or clip hoist systems. Product listings specify which hoist types the sling can be used with, so please check compatibility before purchasing or contact us for advice.

Q: Can patient slings be left in place after transfer?

Some slings, such as in-situ models, are specially designed for extended use and can remain under the user after transfer. Others are intended for short-term lifting only. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for safe use.

Q: Are the slings washable?

Yes, most of our slings are machine washable and designed for repeated use. Washing instructions are included in each product’s documentation to help you maintain hygiene and prolong the lifespan of the sling.
