Invacare Amputee Sling – Polyester
The Invacare Amputee Sling – Polyester has been purposefully developed to provide exceptional comfort, safety, and stability for patients who have undergone single or double limb amputations. Designed with precise anatomical support and premium materials, this sling ensures a safe and dignified lifting experience, whether used in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, or home care environments. It delivers both patient confidence and caregiver assurance through a combination of secure construction, ergonomic shaping, and practical functionality.
Constructed from high-quality polyester fabric, the Invacare Amputee Sling offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for frequent use in busy clinical settings. Polyester is well known for maintaining its structural integrity even after multiple washes, while its smooth, low-friction surface allows the sling to be positioned and adjusted easily beneath the patient. This not only enhances user comfort but also supports efficient workflow for caregivers by minimising manual handling strain.
The defining feature of this sling is its specialist design that accommodates amputations safely and comfortably. The sling provides full support around the patient’s torso and upper body, with additional contouring and reinforcement in the lower section to stabilise residual limbs. This ensures even weight distribution and prevents pressure points during transfers, offering a smooth and controlled lift. It is suitable for patients who have undergone unilateral or bilateral leg amputations, providing tailored security and balance throughout the hoisting process.
The Invacare Amputee Sling’s supportive configuration helps maintain the patient’s seated position, reducing the risk of slipping or tilting while being transferred. The full back and extended leg design work together to deliver a stable base, particularly important when supporting patients with reduced lower limb control. Reinforced stitching along the seams enhances strength and ensures long-term reliability under routine clinical conditions, even when exposed to frequent washing and disinfection cycles.
Caregivers will appreciate the sling’s user-friendly design and compatibility with most standard hoists and spreader bars. The loop-style attachments are colour-coded, allowing for quick identification of connection points and helping to ensure accurate positioning. This feature improves efficiency during transfers and reduces the likelihood of setup errors. Whether lifting from a bed, wheelchair, or reclined position, the sling provides dependable support and helps maintain patient comfort throughout the procedure.
In addition to its robust build, the polyester material offers practical advantages for hygiene management. It is machine washable up to 80°C, meeting infection control requirements in medical and residential care environments. The fabric’s quick-drying properties allow for faster turnaround between washes, ensuring the sling is readily available for continuous use. With appropriate care and adherence to manufacturer guidelines, the Invacare Amputee Sling maintains its strength, colour stability, and comfort even after prolonged use.
The sling’s ergonomic structure not only supports the patient’s safety but also enhances dignity and reassurance during transfers. The soft yet firm polyester material ensures that the patient feels secure and stable without excessive tightening or discomfort. For caregivers, the design reduces the need for repeated adjustments, promoting smoother lifting movements and better overall efficiency in patient handling routines.
Whether used for rehabilitation following surgery, daily care routines, or long-term mobility support, the Invacare Amputee Sling – Polyester represents a dependable and practical choice for professional care teams. It embodies Invacare’s commitment to comfort, safety, and innovation in patient mobility equipment.
