Oxford Deluxe Transport Sling (with Padded Legs) – Large
The Oxford Deluxe Transport Sling (with Padded Legs) – Large provides a versatile and comfortable solution for patients requiring assistance during seated and standing transfers. Designed for individuals with a degree of weight-bearing ability, this sling promotes confidence and dignity during mobility and transfer activities. Its ergonomic construction and durable materials make it suitable for a wide range of care settings, from hospitals and rehabilitation centres to residential and community care environments.
Versatile Solution to Seated and Standing Transfers
The Oxford Deluxe Transport Sling is specifically designed for patients who can actively participate in the transfer process. It facilitates both well-supported seated transfers and assisted standing, enabling carers to complete mobility tasks with ease and safety. This makes it ideal for rehabilitation, daily mobility assistance, and situations where maintaining partial weight-bearing is important for patient wellbeing.
Please note that this sling is not suitable for double amputees or for lifting patients from a horizontal position. A full patient risk assessment should be conducted prior to use to ensure compatibility with individual physical abilities and care requirements.
Superior Comfort and Support
The sling’s fully padded design provides exceptional comfort and stability throughout each transfer. The padded leg sections help distribute pressure evenly under the thighs, reducing the risk of discomfort or bruising, particularly during extended use. The non-slip back section ensures that the sling remains securely in place during positioning and movement, preventing it from riding up and helping to maintain proper support.
The adjustable waist support strap adds a further layer of safety by keeping the sling correctly positioned around the torso. This ensures a stable and secure transfer while promoting user confidence and reducing the effort required by caregivers.
Durable Construction for Long-Term Use
Manufactured from heavy-duty polyester fabric, the Oxford Deluxe Transport Sling is built to endure frequent use in busy care environments. Reinforced stitching throughout the structure enhances strength and reliability, while the premium fabric resists stretching, tearing, and wear over time. This ensures consistent safety and performance even after repeated washing and handling.
The sling’s colour-coded attachment loops allow carers to select the correct positioning quickly and accurately, ensuring safe and consistent use. These loops assist with achieving the right posture and support level for each patient, helping prevent improper alignment during lifting or transfer operations.
Easy Compatibility and Maintenance
The Oxford Deluxe Transport Sling is designed for compatibility with most loop-type spreader bar hoists, making it a practical and versatile choice for various lifting systems. Whether in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or private homes, it delivers smooth and secure transfers for both carers and users.
For ease of maintenance, the sling is machine washable at 85°C and suitable for cool tumble drying. This high-temperature tolerance ensures compliance with infection control standards in clinical environments while maintaining the sling’s durability and strength. Regular inspection and cleaning according to the manufacturer’s guidelines will help preserve safety and performance over its service life.
