Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling – Extra Large
The Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling – Extra Large is meticulously designed to provide maximum support, comfort, and security for patients requiring assisted standing and partial weight-bearing transfers. This model has been specifically engineered for extra large patients, offering enhanced coverage and stability for individuals with higher body mass or reduced lower limb strength. Its design prioritizes patient dignity, comfort, and safety, making it suitable for hospitals, care homes, and home care environments.
Featuring high-quality, durable fabric construction, the Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling is reinforced with strong stitching to withstand regular use while maintaining structural integrity. The padded leg supports provide additional cushioning, helping to reduce pressure points on sensitive areas such as the thighs and lower torso during standing or partial weight-bearing transfers. The comfortable backrest ensures the patient’s upper body remains well-supported, giving them confidence and stability while remaining in an upright position.
Adjustability is a key aspect of the sling’s design. The straps are fully adjustable, allowing carers to customise the fit according to the patient’s size and requirements. This ensures a snug yet comfortable fit, improving safety during transfers and reducing the risk of slippage. The sling is compatible with most standard standing hoists and is suitable for use with both manual and powered hoist systems, giving carers flexibility and confidence in a variety of care environments.
To further enhance usability, the Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling features colour-coded sling loops that clearly indicate size, ensuring quick and accurate selection. This visual aid streamlines preparation and helps carers correctly attach the sling to hoist systems, reducing errors and improving patient safety. In addition, the sling’s design incorporates positioning handles, allowing carers to adjust and guide the patient with ease while maintaining control and comfort during transfers.
The Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling also prioritises hygiene and infection control. It is fully machine washable at temperatures up to 85°C, allowing thorough cleaning between uses. The fabric dries quickly, maintaining its shape and comfort after laundering. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure that the sling continues to meet clinical standards and remains free from wear or damage, preserving both patient safety and sling longevity.
Key features of this sling include its extra-large size for accommodating larger patients, padded leg sections for comfort and pressure relief, and a durable high-quality fabric that provides long-lasting performance. The adjustable straps allow a personalised fit for each patient, while the colour-coded sling loops facilitate correct sizing and attachment. The sling’s compatibility with most standing hoists and its reinforced construction ensure reliable performance in clinical and home care settings.
The sling has a safe working load of up to 272 kg (42.7 stone), making it suitable for a wide range of patient weights. Its design and materials balance comfort, support, and security, ensuring that patients experience a dignified and safe transfer every time. The sling’s padded backrest supports the spine, while the leg padding helps prevent discomfort or pressure-related issues during use. This makes the Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling an ideal choice for patients with limited mobility who require additional support during standing transfers.
