Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Polyester
The Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Polyester is a versatile and reliable solution for patient handling, designed to provide strong and comfortable support during transfers and repositioning. Constructed from high-quality, durable polyester, this sling ensures patients are safely supported, while providing caregivers with a practical and easy-to-use tool for daily care routines. Its robust design enhances both patient comfort and caregiver confidence, making it suitable for a wide range of care environments.
Engineered for universal compatibility, the sling works seamlessly with most standard patient hoists, allowing caregivers to use it across multiple devices without the need for specialized slings. This feature reduces equipment requirements and simplifies care procedures in busy clinical, care home, and home care settings. Its adaptability ensures that patients can be safely moved from beds to chairs, wheelchairs, or other seating positions with minimal effort, while maintaining stability and comfort throughout the transfer process.
The durable polyester construction provides both strength and resilience, ensuring long-term reliability even with repeated daily use. The fabric is designed to slide smoothly during transfers, helping to reduce friction and discomfort for the patient. In addition, the polyester material dries quickly after washing, supporting infection control measures and maintaining a hygienic environment for patients and staff alike. Its sturdy construction also helps to prevent wear and tear over time, making it a cost-effective choice for facilities that require durable, high-performance slings.
Safety and patient comfort are central to the design of the Universal Standard Sling – Polyester. The sling provides full-body support in seated or semi-reclined positions, helping to maintain proper posture during transfers. This reduces the risk of slips, falls, and pressure-related discomfort, particularly for patients with limited mobility or strength. By evenly distributing the patient’s weight across the sling, the risk of strain on any single body part is minimised, enhancing overall safety and comfort during movement.
The ergonomic design also benefits caregivers, allowing them to perform transfers efficiently and with reduced physical strain. Its straightforward application and removal process ensures that the sling can be used quickly and effectively, even in high-demand care environments. The sling’s universal design further streamlines training for staff, enabling consistent and safe handling practices across different care settings.
The Invacare Universal Standard Sling – Polyester is suitable for a wide range of patients, accommodating varying body types and sizes. The universal design provides secure support for patients of different weights, making it a flexible and practical solution for both short-term and long-term care scenarios. Its reliable performance helps maintain dignity and comfort for patients while supporting caregivers in delivering safe and effective care.
