Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling – Large (With Padded Legs)

Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling – Large (Padded Legs)

The Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling – Large with Padded Legs has been thoughtfully designed to deliver outstanding comfort, safety, and support during patient lifting and transfer operations. Crafted from high-quality Silkfit fabric, this sling provides an ideal combination of strength, softness, and breathability, ensuring a secure yet gentle experience for patients while maintaining ease of use for caregivers. Its full back design offers comprehensive body support, making it particularly suitable for individuals who require assistance with head, neck, and upper body stability during hoisting.

Engineered for use in professional healthcare environments such as hospitals, residential care facilities, and private home care, the Full Back Silkfit Sling upholds the high standards of safety and comfort expected from the Oxford range. The unique Silkfit fabric has been specially developed to minimise friction and reduce shear forces, allowing smooth application and removal of the sling—even when the patient is seated or reclined. This is especially beneficial for individuals with delicate skin or limited mobility, as it helps to reduce discomfort and the risk of skin irritation during transfers.

The padded leg sections enhance comfort without compromising stability, distributing pressure evenly under the thighs and promoting a more secure and comfortable lift. This makes the sling ideal for longer duration transfers or for users who experience discomfort with unpadded designs. The ergonomic layout ensures correct positioning throughout the lifting process, giving carers confidence that the patient is securely supported from start to finish.

Designed for versatility, the Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling is compatible with a wide range of standard patient hoists and lift systems that utilise loop-style attachments. Its durable construction and reinforced stitching make it suitable for frequent, daily use in demanding care environments. The fabric maintains its integrity even after repeated laundering, ensuring a long service life and continued reliability in infection-controlled settings.
