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

The Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling – Small with Padded Legs has been expertly designed to deliver the perfect balance of comfort, safety, and practicality during patient transfers. Manufactured from high-quality, breathable Silkfit fabric, this sling offers superior softness and durability, ensuring optimal user comfort while maintaining carer confidence during each lift or transfer. Its compact small size makes it especially well-suited for smaller patients who require a secure and supportive sling for daily mobility assistance.

The Silkfit range is renowned for its low-friction properties, which allow the sling to be applied and removed smoothly, even while the patient is seated or lying down. This helps to minimise discomfort, reduce skin shear, and support patients with limited mobility or fragile skin. The full back design offers complete head, neck, and trunk support, making it ideal for users who require a higher degree of stability during hoisting from beds, wheelchairs, or reclined positions.

The padded leg sections of the sling add an extra layer of comfort, distributing pressure evenly under the thighs to prevent discomfort during extended transfers. These sections also help to keep the patient securely positioned throughout the lifting process, offering enhanced reassurance for both the user and the caregiver. Whether used in hospitals, residential care homes, or private care settings, the sling’s ergonomic design promotes a smooth and dignified transfer experience.

The Oxford Full Back Silkfit Sling is engineered for compatibility with most standard hoists using loop attachment systems. It features colour-coded binding and attachment loops for quick size identification and safe, accurate connection to the spreader bar. This thoughtful design helps carers to work efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. Its robust construction ensures lasting performance, even under frequent use in professional healthcare environments.

Designed with infection control and maintenance in mind, the sling is fully machine washable at up to 80°C. The Silkfit fabric retains its softness and structure even after repeated laundering, ensuring consistent comfort and support. This makes the Full Back Silkfit Sling an excellent long-term investment for care facilities seeking durable, dependable patient handling equipment.
