Oxford Full Back Spacer Sling
The Oxford Full Back Spacer Sling is designed to provide exceptional comfort, safety, and support for patients during a variety of transfers. Engineered with a focus on patient care and dignity, this premium sling combines the benefits of a full-back design with innovative breathable materials, ensuring superior comfort and stability throughout the transfer process. It is particularly suited for individuals who require enhanced head and upper body support, including those with limited body control or involuntary movement.
Excellent Support for a Wide Range of Transfers
The Oxford Full Back Spacer Sling provides excellent support for a wide range of transfer needs. Its contoured design fits securely around the body, ensuring that patients remain safely supported during lifting and repositioning. The integrated head support offers additional stability for those who require it, making this sling particularly beneficial in hospital, residential, and rehabilitation settings where patient comfort and safety are paramount.
Designed with padded leg sections and a supportive full-back structure, the sling provides balanced weight distribution and protection against pressure points. It is especially effective for users who experience involuntary movement or behavioural challenges, helping to minimise the risk of sliding, discomfort, or loss of posture during transfer.
Advanced Spacer Fabric Technology
The sling is constructed from 3D woven Spacer material – a modern, cushioned, and breathable textile known for its excellent air permeability. This advanced fabric promotes airflow and reduces heat build-up, keeping the patient cool and comfortable even during extended periods of use. The Spacer material also provides gentle cushioning, conforming to the patient’s body shape for a soft yet supportive fit.
The combination of comfort, breathability, and flexibility makes the Oxford Full Back Spacer Sling ideal for patients with delicate skin or those at risk of pressure-related discomfort. The fabric’s durability ensures it maintains its shape and structure through repeated washes, making it suitable for both clinical and long-term care environments.
Practical and Easy to Use
The sling is easy to fit and remove, featuring clearly defined colour-coded binding that identifies the size at a glance. Colour-coded attachment loops help carers select the correct hoist connection points to ensure proper positioning and comfort for each individual. The addition of positioning handles on the back of the sling allows carers to adjust the patient’s position safely and efficiently, reducing strain during handling.
A built-in modesty loop is included to protect the patient’s dignity during transfers, providing discreet coverage while maintaining safety and accessibility. The sling’s design also helps promote a natural seated posture, offering improved comfort and reassurance throughout each lift.
Reliable, Durable and Hygienic
Manufactured to Oxford’s exacting standards, the Full Back Spacer Sling offers outstanding reliability and long-term durability. It is compatible with most standard hoists that use a loop-type spreader bar, providing flexibility across a range of equipment. The robust materials and reinforced stitching ensure confidence in daily use, while the breathable Spacer fabric maintains its performance even after repeated cleaning cycles.
For optimal hygiene, the sling is machine washable and designed to withstand frequent laundering without compromising its structural integrity or comfort. Following the manufacturer’s cleaning and inspection guidelines will help ensure continued safety and extend the product’s lifespan.
