Invacare Universal High Sling – Polyester
The Invacare Universal High Sling – Polyester is a premium patient handling aid designed to provide comprehensive support, comfort, and safety during lifting, repositioning, and transfers. Made from high-quality, durable polyester, this sling combines strength, longevity, and comfort, making it ideal for hospitals, residential care facilities, and home care environments. Its robust construction ensures secure support for patients while reducing physical strain on caregivers during routine transfer and repositioning tasks.
This universal high sling is suitable for users who require full-body support, including the head, shoulders, and trunk. By maintaining a stable and ergonomic position, it helps prevent pressure points, discomfort, and potential injury. The design ensures that patients remain supported in both short and long-distance transfers, giving carers confidence in each movement. It is particularly useful for users with limited mobility, poor postural control, or reduced muscle tone, providing essential stability and security during lifting and repositioning activities.
The versatility of the Invacare Universal High Sling is one of its key strengths. It is compatible with most standard patient hoists, allowing it to be used across multiple hoist systems without the need for specialized equipment. This universal compatibility reduces costs and simplifies care routines, particularly in environments where multiple patients and hoists are in use. Carers can rely on consistent performance and predictable results, improving efficiency and safety during every transfer.
Constructed from smooth, high-durability polyester, the sling is both strong and gentle against the skin. The material minimizes friction during transfers, enhancing patient comfort, and reducing the risk of skin irritation. It is also quick-drying and easy to clean, supporting infection control standards and maintaining a hygienic care environment. The material’s durability ensures it can withstand repeated laundering at temperatures up to 80°C without losing its structural integrity, making it suitable for frequent, daily use in busy care settings.
For caregivers, the Invacare Universal High Sling simplifies handling and improves ergonomics. Its design allows for controlled, stable lifting and repositioning, reducing the risk of back strain and other manual handling injuries. The sling is easy to fit and remove, streamlining transfer procedures while maintaining patient dignity and comfort. It is ideal for a range of transfer scenarios, including moving patients between beds, chairs, and commodes, as well as repositioning within a bed or chair for comfort, pressure relief, or medical procedures.
The sling also encourages patient confidence and engagement. Full-body support provides a secure feeling, allowing patients to participate actively where possible. Active engagement during transfers can help maintain mobility, promote independence, and support rehabilitation goals, all while ensuring safety. By giving both carers and patients greater control and confidence, this sling enhances the overall quality of care and comfort in both clinical and home settings.
In addition to comfort and safety, the Invacare Universal High Sling is practical and durable. Its reinforced stitching and robust polyester material ensure long-term reliability, even under repeated use. This makes it a cost-effective solution for care providers who require dependable, everyday patient handling equipment. Its design also reduces the likelihood of wear and tear during laundering, maintaining high performance over time.
