Oxford Long Seat Poly Plain Sling
The Oxford Long Seat Poly Plain Sling is expertly designed to provide reliable, durable, and comfortable support during patient transfers. With its extended long seat design, it offers additional support beneath the thighs and legs, ensuring patients remain stable and comfortable throughout the lifting and repositioning process. This makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of care settings, including hospitals, residential care facilities, and rehabilitation centres, where patient safety, comfort, and hygiene are paramount.
Ergonomic and Supportive Design
The long seat design of the Oxford Long Seat Poly Plain Sling is carefully contoured to provide full support to the patient’s thighs and legs, helping to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points. This ergonomic approach enhances patient comfort and safety during transfers, minimising the risk of sliding or shifting that can lead to discomfort or injury. The sling allows caregivers to maintain proper posture and control during lifting, ensuring transfers are smooth, safe, and efficient.
Its plain poly fabric construction is soft yet resilient, offering a balance between comfort and durability. The breathable nature of the fabric helps reduce the risk of skin irritation, which is particularly important for patients who may remain seated for longer periods or have sensitive skin.
Durable Construction for Longevity
Constructed from high-quality poly fabric, this sling is designed to withstand the demands of frequent use in clinical and residential care settings. Reinforced edges and robust sling loops enhance durability, providing long-lasting performance even under repeated lifting and cleaning cycles. The reinforced stitching ensures that the sling maintains its shape and integrity, delivering consistent safety and support for every transfer.
The sling’s strong construction allows it to support a safe working load of up to 181 kg (28.5 stone), making it suitable for a wide range of patients while maintaining structural reliability. This ensures that caregivers can confidently perform transfers without compromising safety or comfort.
Compatibility and Ease of Use
The Oxford Long Seat Poly Plain Sling is compatible with most standard hoist systems, providing flexibility and ease of use in a variety of care environments. Its design allows for quick and efficient attachment to hoist spreader bars, saving time during patient handling while ensuring a secure and stable lift. The sling is suitable for patients with varying levels of mobility and can be used in multiple transfer scenarios, including bed-to-chair, chair-to-chair, or repositioning within a bed.
Caregivers can benefit from the sling’s simple, practical design, which reduces the complexity of patient handling while maintaining a high level of safety. Colour-coded sling loops may also be used to aid in correct sizing and positioning, further supporting safe transfer practices.
Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
The Oxford Long Seat Poly Plain Sling is machine washable at 85°C, with recommended cool tumble drying. This ensures that it meets strict infection control standards and can be safely used in clinical settings. Regular cleaning and inspection help maintain the integrity of the sling, ensuring patient safety and prolonging the lifespan of the product.
