Oxford Access Padded Sling with Head Support – Medium

Oxford Access Padded Sling with Head Support – Medium

The Oxford Access Padded Sling with Head Support – Medium is designed for safe and comfortable patient transfers where head support and toileting access are required. This medium-sized sling provides additional neck and upper body stability, ensuring patients with limited control are securely supported during hoist-assisted movements. Its ergonomic design enhances both patient comfort and carer safety.

Constructed from padded polyester, the sling offers cushioning to sensitive areas such as the thighs and buttocks, reducing pressure and providing enhanced comfort throughout transfers. The padded leg sections help distribute weight evenly, supporting proper posture and minimising discomfort. Its durable materials are suitable for repeated use in hospitals, residential care, and home care settings.

Optimised for toileting and hygiene tasks, this sling allows carers to perform essential care routines efficiently without compromising patient dignity. The integrated head support stabilises the upper body during transfers, ensuring safety and confidence for patients who may struggle to maintain their own posture. The sling’s compatibility with loop-style hoists, including Oxford and Invacare systems, provides versatility and convenience for care providers.

Hygiene and maintenance are simple, as the sling is fully machine washable at temperatures up to 80°C. Bleaching should be avoided to maintain the integrity of the materials, and tumble drying should be performed on a low setting. Regular inspection before each use is recommended to check for wear, damage, or signs of fabric fatigue, ensuring continued safety and performance.
