Invacare Comfort Sling – Spacer
The Invacare Comfort Sling – Spacer is an expertly designed patient handling accessory created to provide exceptional comfort and support during everyday transfers. Manufactured from high-quality breathable spacer fabric, this sling combines durability with a superior level of softness, ensuring optimal comfort for the user while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and performance. Its innovative fabric technology allows for continuous air circulation, reducing heat and moisture build-up, which can often cause discomfort during prolonged use. This makes it an ideal choice for both clinical environments and home care settings where patient well-being is a top priority.
Engineered to fit seamlessly with most standard patient hoists, the Invacare Comfort Sling – Spacer ensures secure and efficient transfers from beds, chairs, or wheelchairs. Its design supports the entire body, including the head, providing excellent positioning and stability during lifting. The flexible nature of the spacer material gently moulds around the user’s body, delivering personalised comfort and pressure relief while maintaining proper posture throughout the transfer. This makes it particularly suitable for patients with limited mobility or those requiring additional support and cushioning during handling.
The breathable spacer fabric is a key feature of this sling, promoting healthy skin integrity by preventing overheating and reducing the risk of moisture-related skin issues. This is especially important in long-term care scenarios where users spend extended periods supported in the sling. The smooth surface texture also minimises friction and shear forces on the skin, ensuring gentle and safe handling with every use. Despite its soft feel, the material is exceptionally strong and resilient, capable of withstanding frequent use in demanding care environments without compromising safety or comfort.
Designed with carers and healthcare professionals in mind, the Invacare Comfort Sling – Spacer features clearly marked attachment loops and secure fastening points to ensure straightforward and safe fitting. The sling is compatible with a wide range of hoisting equipment, offering flexibility across different care settings. This universal compatibility allows it to be integrated effortlessly into existing patient handling systems, reducing the need for specialised accessories and simplifying daily routines for care teams.
Cleaning and maintenance are equally straightforward, thanks to the sling’s machine-washable design. It can be laundered at temperatures of up to 80°C, supporting effective infection control and ensuring long-term hygiene standards are maintained. The quick-drying nature of the spacer fabric further enhances practicality, allowing for efficient turnaround between uses. This durability and ease of care make it a cost-effective choice for facilities seeking reliable, long-lasting patient handling solutions.
