Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling Small
The Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling Small has been purposefully developed to provide secure, comfortable, and dignified support for smaller patients who require assistance during standing and transfer activities. Designed with the needs of both the patient and the caregiver in mind, this high-quality sling promotes confidence, safety, and ease of use in every lift. Whether used in a hospital, care home, or domestic environment, it ensures a smooth, supportive, and reassuring experience during sit-to-stand transfers.
This model in the Oxford Deluxe range is specifically shaped and sized for smaller individuals, ensuring a snug yet gentle fit that delivers consistent support across the torso and upper thighs. The carefully contoured design aids in promoting an upright posture during the standing process, helping patients participate more actively in the transfer while reducing strain on carers. The padded leg sections minimise pressure points, and the soft cushioned backrest provides stability and comfort throughout the movement, maintaining patient dignity at all times.
Manufactured from heavy-duty polyester fabric, the sling is highly durable and resistant to wear, making it ideal for frequent use in demanding care settings. Reinforced stitching adds an extra layer of reliability, ensuring longevity even under continuous operation. The fabric is easy to maintain, dries quickly after washing, and retains its structure, making it a practical choice for clinical and community care environments where hygiene and reliability are paramount.
The Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling Small includes adjustable attachment straps that enable carers to tailor the fit and positioning to each patient’s individual requirements. The colour-coded loop system ensures quick and accurate identification of attachment points, allowing for consistent, safe lifting every time. The sling is compatible with most standing hoists available on the market, including Oxford’s own range of professional-grade lifting equipment, making it a versatile and reliable addition to your care toolkit.
One of the key benefits of this sling is the level of participation it allows the patient. By encouraging a natural standing motion and supporting the upper body and legs in a balanced way, it helps promote independence and confidence. This feature is particularly beneficial in rehabilitation or long-term care settings, where standing support is part of maintaining mobility and daily function. It also helps reduce caregiver strain, ensuring both user and operator benefit from safer, more efficient transfers.
Infection control and hygiene are essential in any care environment, and this sling has been designed with this in mind. It is machine washable at 85 °C and suitable for cool tumble drying, helping facilities maintain stringent hygiene standards while extending the lifespan of the product. The material’s resilience to regular cleaning means the sling remains in top condition even after repeated laundering, maintaining both comfort and performance.
Each Oxford Deluxe Standing Sling undergoes rigorous testing and quality assurance to meet or exceed international safety standards. With a safe working load (SWL) of 113 kg / 17.8 stone for this size, it offers the strength and dependability required in all professional care environments. Combined with its thoughtful ergonomic design and superior build quality, it represents an outstanding balance between comfort, safety, and value.
