Oxford In-Situ Sling Small
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Small is carefully designed to provide secure, comfortable, and reliable in-situ transfers for small patients. It allows patients to remain safely seated while being lifted or repositioned, combining ergonomic support with breathable, durable materials that minimise the risk of skin irritation. This sling is ideal for use in hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation environments where patient comfort, dignity, and safety are priorities.
Secure and Comfortable Design
Specifically tailored for small patients, the Oxford In-Situ Sling Small provides reliable support around the torso and legs, ensuring stability during transfers. Its contoured design promotes even weight distribution, reducing pressure points and providing consistent comfort. The sling’s breathable fabric allows airflow around the skin, helping to keep patients cool and comfortable even during extended use.
The sling’s secure design ensures patients remain safely positioned during lifting, minimising movement that could lead to discomfort or potential injury. Its ergonomic fit also supports proper seated posture, making transfers smoother and more comfortable for both patients and caregivers.
Durable Construction for Reliability
Constructed from high-quality, durable fabric with reinforced stitching, the Oxford In-Situ Sling Small is designed to withstand frequent use in busy care environments. Its robust materials maintain structural integrity through repeated lifting and cleaning cycles, ensuring reliable performance over time. Adjustable straps allow for a snug, custom fit, accommodating individual patient needs and providing caregivers with confidence in safe handling.
Colour-coded sling loops make identifying the correct size straightforward, reducing the risk of incorrect attachment and ensuring consistent, safe use across all transfers. This feature also simplifies training for staff and supports best practices in clinical and residential care settings.
Compatibility and Ease of Use
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Small is compatible with most standard hoists and loop-style spreader bars, providing flexibility and ease of use. Its in-situ design allows the sling to remain under the patient during transfers, minimising repeated repositioning and maintaining comfort. This makes it ideal for patients who require frequent lifting or repositioning throughout the day.
The sling’s lightweight, flexible material allows caregivers to manoeuvre and adjust the sling efficiently while maintaining patient safety. With a combination of practical design, supportive materials, and reinforced construction, this sling helps improve workflow while ensuring a dignified transfer experience for small patients.
Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
Meeting clinical hygiene standards, the Oxford In-Situ Sling Small is machine washable at 85°C and suitable for cool tumble drying. Proper laundering maintains the integrity of the fabric and attachment points, ensuring ongoing patient safety. Regular inspection for signs of wear, damage, or fraying is recommended to maintain the sling’s safe performance.
