Full Back Net Sling (With Padded Legs)
The Full Back Net Sling with Padded Legs is a premium patient handling solution, designed to provide reliable full-body support and exceptional comfort during transfers. Constructed from high-quality breathable net fabric, this sling ensures effective air circulation and rapid drying, making it particularly suitable for bathing, showering, and general care environments where hygiene and moisture management are essential. Its practical design offers carers confidence and control during hoisting while maintaining maximum patient safety and comfort throughout every transfer.
With its contoured full back structure, the sling offers comprehensive head, neck, and trunk support, making it ideal for patients who require a higher level of stability or those with reduced upper body strength. The ergonomic shape has been carefully developed to promote correct positioning during lifting, ensuring that weight is evenly distributed and pressure points are minimised. This thoughtful design contributes to a safer and more comfortable experience for patients, particularly those who may be semi- or non-weight-bearing.
The net fabric used in this sling is both lightweight and strong, allowing for excellent ventilation while maintaining durability even under frequent use. This material is exceptionally well-suited for use in wet or humid conditions, as it prevents moisture retention and assists in quick drying after cleaning or bathing. The open-weave texture helps to reduce the risk of skin irritation by preventing overheating and maintaining airflow around the patient’s body, supporting both comfort and long-term skin integrity.
The padded leg sections add an additional layer of comfort by cushioning key pressure areas, especially beneath the thighs, where strain or discomfort can often occur during hoisting. The padding is soft yet resilient, ensuring that it maintains its protective properties even after repeated laundering. This feature enhances both safety and comfort, making the sling appropriate for longer transfer durations and routine use in hospitals, care homes, and community care environments.
Ease of use is a central feature of the Full Back Net Sling. It has been designed for smooth fitting and removal, even when the patient remains seated in a chair or wheelchair. Colour-coded attachment loops allow for quick identification and correct positioning, enabling carers to select the appropriate configuration for each individual patient. This not only ensures accurate lifting angles and comfort but also improves workflow efficiency in busy clinical settings.
The sling is fully compatible with most standard hoist systems, providing flexibility across various care environments. Reinforced stitching and high-strength webbing loops contribute to the sling’s overall durability and reliability, offering consistent performance and peace of mind during every lift. Each element has been precision-engineered to meet professional care standards, ensuring that the sling can withstand repeated use while maintaining its structural integrity and patient safety features.
For care teams, the Full Back Net Sling represents a practical and dependable choice. Its materials are machine washable according to manufacturer guidelines, promoting high hygiene standards and easy infection control management. The breathable construction allows the sling to dry quickly, minimising downtime between uses and helping to maintain an efficient workflow in multi-patient environments. The sling’s lightweight nature also reduces strain on caregivers, improving ergonomics and ease of handling during fitting and removal.
Whether used for daily transfers, showering, or longer-term care, the Full Back Net Sling with Padded Legs delivers a combination of durability, comfort, and support that aligns with the needs of both patients and caregivers. Its robust yet comfortable design ensures that each transfer is carried out with confidence, maintaining safety, dignity, and comfort for the user. This makes it an invaluable addition to any healthcare facility focused on quality patient care and operational efficiency.
