Invacare High Sling – Polyester
The Invacare High Sling – Polyester is designed to provide full-body support for patients who require assistance during transfers, including those with limited head, trunk, and hip control. The sling supports the head and shoulders in a comfortable, slightly tilted-back position, offering enhanced comfort and stability. It is especially suitable for users with poor postural support, ensuring safe and secure transfers for both patients and caregivers.
This high sling features reinforced ribs in the head section to provide extra comfort and maintain proper alignment. For users who do not require head support, the sling can be easily adapted by removing the plastic rigidisers, allowing for versatile use in different care scenarios. Its ergonomic design ensures that the user remains supported and comfortable throughout the transfer process, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury.
Constructed from high-durability polyester, this sling is strong, reliable, and easy to clean, making it suitable for repeated use in both clinical and home care environments. The polyester material is compatible with all hook and loop spreader bar hoist systems, offering flexibility and convenience for carers who need a reliable solution for patient handling. The smooth fabric and reinforced structure ensure a secure grip, facilitating safe and efficient transfers.
The Invacare High Sling enables carers to move incapacitated patients with confidence, providing full-body support while minimising manual handling effort. Its design ensures the user is positioned safely, promoting comfort and reducing strain on both the patient and caregiver. This sling is ideal for a range of applications, including transfers between beds, chairs, and commodes, as well as repositioning within bed or chair settings.
Its combination of comfort, support, and versatility makes the Invacare High Sling an essential tool in patient care, helping to maintain dignity, safety, and ease of handling during transfers. The sling’s robust construction ensures long-term reliability and durability, even with frequent use.
