Oxford In-Situ Sling Medium
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Medium is expertly designed to provide safe, comfortable, and efficient in-situ transfers for medium-sized patients. Ideal for individuals who need to remain seated during lifting or repositioning, this sling combines supportive design with breathable, durable materials to enhance patient comfort and reduce skin irritation. Suitable for a wide range of care settings, from hospitals and rehabilitation facilities to residential care environments, it ensures a secure and dignified transfer experience for both patients and caregivers.
Secure and Comfortable Transfers
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Medium is specifically tailored for medium-sized patients, providing optimal support and stability throughout each transfer. Its ergonomic design allows patients to remain in a seated position while being lifted, helping reduce unnecessary movement and stress. The sling distributes weight evenly, minimising pressure points and providing consistent comfort during use.
The breathable, high-quality fabric promotes airflow, helping to keep the patient cool and comfortable even during extended periods of use. This makes it particularly suitable for patients with sensitive skin or those at risk of irritation, providing a practical solution for daily care routines without compromising patient safety or comfort.
Durable Construction for Reliability
Crafted from strong, durable materials with reinforced stitching, the Oxford In-Situ Sling Medium is built to withstand repeated use in busy care environments. The reinforced stitching ensures long-term reliability while maintaining flexibility and comfort. Adjustable straps provide a secure, tailored fit for each individual patient, allowing caregivers to position the sling optimally for safety and comfort.
Colour-coded sling loops allow for quick and accurate identification of size and positioning, reducing the risk of incorrect attachment and improving transfer safety. This feature also simplifies training for caregivers and ensures consistency across multiple staff members or shifts.
Compatibility and Practicality
The Oxford In-Situ Sling Medium is compatible with most standard hoists and loop-style spreader bars, offering flexibility and ease of use in a variety of settings. Its in-situ design allows the sling to remain under the patient when seated, minimising repositioning and maximising comfort. This design also supports patients who require frequent lifting and repositioning throughout the day.
The combination of durable materials, secure attachment points, and adjustable straps makes this sling a reliable and practical choice for caregivers. It provides peace of mind, knowing that patients are securely supported and transfers can be performed efficiently and safely.
