Oxford In-Situ Sling – Large
The Oxford In-Situ Sling – Large has been purposefully designed to deliver secure, comfortable, and supportive patient transfers while enabling the sling to remain in position after hoisting if required. This feature makes it an excellent choice for individuals who require frequent transfers or prolonged periods of sling use. Engineered from high-quality, breathable fabric, it ensures both patient comfort and carer confidence, maintaining Oxford’s longstanding reputation for safety and innovation in patient handling.
The In-Situ Sling provides full body support, carefully shaped to promote correct positioning and even weight distribution. The design is particularly beneficial for patients with limited mobility or those requiring full assistance during transfers between beds, chairs, or wheelchairs. Its soft, low-friction fabric helps to minimise shear and pressure points, reducing the risk of skin irritation and promoting user comfort over extended periods of use.
This model’s large size accommodates a broad range of patient body types, providing ample coverage and stability without compromising ease of application. Reinforced stitching and robust webbing loops ensure durability and security throughout lifting operations. The sling is fully compatible with most standard hoist systems that use loop-style attachments, offering flexibility across a wide range of care environments including hospitals, residential care facilities, and private homes.
One of the key advantages of the Oxford In-Situ Sling is its versatility. It can be safely left in place after transfer, subject to clinical assessment, allowing users to remain supported without the need for frequent repositioning. This reduces manual handling for carers while maintaining patient dignity and comfort. Its discreet, contoured shape also helps to minimise bulk beneath the user when seated or reclined, providing a more natural sitting position.
The sling’s durable, high-performance fabric has been carefully selected to withstand repeated use and laundering while maintaining its structural integrity. This makes it ideal for long-term use in demanding care settings where infection control and equipment reliability are essential. The Oxford In-Situ Sling – Large meets strict safety standards and supports consistent performance throughout its lifespan.
