Oxford In-Situ Sling Extra Large
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Extra Large is designed to provide outstanding comfort, safety, and support for patients who require extended periods of sitting or need to remain in the sling after a transfer. Specifically tailored for extra-large patients, it combines durable construction with breathable materials, allowing for secure lifting and repositioning without compromising comfort or skin integrity. This sling represents a practical and safe solution for long-term care environments, offering a high degree of patient comfort and caregiver convenience.
Comfortable, Supportive and Secure
Engineered for patients who need additional support during transfers or prolonged seated use, the Oxford In-Situ Sling Extra Large delivers exceptional performance and stability. Its contoured shape provides reliable support around the torso, legs, and head, while the smooth, breathable fabric ensures comfort even during longer durations of wear. The sling is particularly suited for patients who remain seated in wheelchairs or other supportive seating systems between transfers.
The breathable, lightweight material helps maintain airflow around the patient’s skin, reducing the risk of moisture build-up and irritation. This makes the sling ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or those at risk of pressure-related discomfort. Despite its soft texture, the material is strong and durable, providing consistent support for patients up to a safe working load (SWL) of 227 kg (35.7 stone).
Tailored for Extra-Large Patients
The sling is carefully proportioned to accommodate extra-large users comfortably and securely. It ensures an even distribution of weight, reducing pressure points and providing enhanced stability during transfer. Adjustable attachment straps enable caregivers to achieve the optimal lift angle and posture for each individual, supporting both comfort and safety. This makes the sling suitable for a wide variety of patients, including those with limited mobility or who require more controlled positioning during hoisting.
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Extra Large is compatible with most standard hoists and loop-style spreader bars, making it a flexible choice for use across hospitals, care homes, and community care settings. Its universal design allows seamless integration with existing lifting equipment, helping carers perform safe and efficient transfers with confidence.
Durable Construction and Easy Maintenance
Constructed from high-quality, durable fabric with reinforced stitching, this sling is built for long-term use in demanding care environments. The material retains its strength and comfort even after repeated washing, ensuring continued reliability and performance. Its in-situ design means the sling can remain under the patient after transfer without causing discomfort, making it particularly practical for individuals who require frequent repositioning throughout the day.
The sling is machine washable at 85°C and suitable for cool tumble drying. Following standard clinical hygiene and infection control procedures helps maintain both fabric integrity and patient safety. With proper care, the Oxford In-Situ Sling delivers dependable performance and comfort across a long service life.
Practical Features for Ease of Use
For carers, the Oxford In-Situ Sling is designed to simplify every aspect of the transfer process. Colour-coded sling loops allow quick and easy identification of size and attachment points, helping ensure correct and consistent use every time. The carefully placed reinforced stitching enhances both durability and user safety, offering peace of mind during daily handling. Adjustable straps enable precise positioning to meet individual patient needs, ensuring optimal comfort and secure transfers.
The sling’s design also promotes patient dignity and comfort during use. The smooth, contoured support structure prevents excessive pressure or friction, while its discreet, low-profile form allows the sling to remain comfortably in place when seated, minimising the need for repeated repositioning.
