Bariatric Hammock Sling
The Bariatric Hammock Sling is a premium lifting aid specifically engineered to deliver outstanding comfort, security, and stability for bariatric patients during transfers and repositioning. Designed to support higher weight capacities, this sling ensures both patient and caregiver safety while maintaining a comfortable and dignified experience for the individual being moved.
Its distinctive hammock-style design provides complete body support from head to toe, offering a gentle and even lift that reduces pressure on vulnerable areas. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who require a high level of support or have limited body control. The design naturally conforms to the body’s contours, helping to minimise shear forces and friction during hoisting, which is particularly important for individuals with delicate or compromised skin integrity.
Manufactured using durable, high-strength fabric, the Bariatric Hammock Sling combines resilience with patient comfort. The material has been carefully selected to withstand the demands of frequent use in hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation environments. Reinforced stitching throughout the sling enhances its structural strength and reliability, ensuring that it can perform safely over extended periods, even under heavy load conditions.
Ease of use is a key feature of the Bariatric Hammock Sling. It is designed to be compatible with most standard bariatric hoists, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of care settings. The reinforced attachment points provide a secure connection between the sling and hoist, ensuring smooth, stable lifting and reducing the risk of slippage or imbalance during transfers. The sling’s shape and balance promote a natural, ergonomic position for the patient, enhancing comfort and security throughout the movement process.
From a caregiver’s perspective, the Bariatric Hammock Sling is user-friendly and practical. The design allows for straightforward fitting and removal, simplifying the transfer process and helping to reduce manual handling strain for care staff. The supportive construction also contributes to greater patient confidence, as the sling cradles the body securely and distributes weight evenly for a balanced, reassuring lift.
Hygiene and infection control are also central to the sling’s design. The material is fully machine washable and retains its performance after repeated cleaning cycles. It dries quickly, allowing it to be returned to service promptly – an essential feature in fast-paced healthcare environments where efficiency and cleanliness are vital. Following the manufacturer’s recommended care guidelines ensures that the sling maintains its integrity, providing dependable support use after use.
Whether used in acute care, long-term care, or home settings, the Bariatric Hammock Sling represents a dependable and effective solution for bariatric patient handling. It combines superior comfort with strength and practicality, supporting a wide range of patient needs and promoting safety, dignity, and efficiency in every transfer.
