Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Net
The Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Net is specifically designed to provide safe, comfortable, and hygienic support for patients during transfers. Constructed from lightweight and breathable net fabric, this sling ensures optimal airflow and comfort, reducing the risk of skin irritation and pressure sores. Its ergonomic design supports the patient securely while making the transfer process easier and safer for caregivers, particularly during routine daily transfers.
The net fabric used in the Universal Standard Sling offers excellent ventilation, which helps to prevent moisture accumulation and skin breakdown, a critical consideration for patients who require frequent handling or longer periods of seating in a sling. The lightweight nature of the fabric also enhances ease of use, allowing caregivers to apply and remove the sling quickly without compromising patient safety or comfort. This feature is especially beneficial in busy clinical environments, where efficiency and reliability are essential.
Designed with a universal fit, the Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Net is compatible with most standard patient hoists. This compatibility ensures caregivers can use the sling across multiple hoist systems without the need for specialized equipment, simplifying workflow and reducing equipment costs. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a variety of care settings, including hospitals, care homes, and residential home care. Whether moving patients from bed to chair, chair to chair, or repositioning within a bed, this sling provides consistent and dependable support.
The ergonomic structure of the sling allows for balanced weight distribution, supporting patients in a secure and comfortable position throughout the transfer process. This helps to minimise the risk of discomfort or injury for both the patient and caregiver. The lightweight net material also allows for easy observation of the patient during transfers, ensuring that caregivers can monitor positioning and adjust support as needed to maintain safety and comfort.
One of the key advantages of the Universal Standard Sling – Net is its focus on infection control. The breathable net fabric is machine washable at up to 80°C, making it easy to maintain hygiene standards. Regular cleaning ensures that the sling remains free of contaminants and maintains its structural integrity, providing consistent performance over time. The fabric’s quick-drying properties further enhance its practicality, ensuring the sling is ready for repeated use in busy care environments.
In addition to its practical and hygienic benefits, the sling is designed to reduce the risk of skin irritation and pressure-related injuries. The breathable net fabric allows airflow across the patient’s body, helping to prevent heat buildup and moisture accumulation. This is particularly important for patients with sensitive skin or those who are immobile for longer periods. By addressing these concerns, the Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Net helps maintain patient comfort and promotes skin health during transfers.
