Oxford Quickfit Deluxe Sling – Padded Head Support
The Oxford Quickfit Deluxe Sling with Padded Head Support represents an evolution of the standard Quickfit sling, designed to provide superior support, comfort, and ease of use for the vast majority of patients. This sling is fully compatible with the complete range of Oxford patient hoists, offering safe and effective transfers across hospitals, care homes, and home care settings. Its deluxe design incorporates contoured leg sections and a padded head support, which collectively enhance hip, thigh, and pelvic positioning while providing added comfort and stability for the neck and head.
Comfort for the user is at the heart of the Quickfit Deluxe design. The contoured leg sections allow for more natural hip alignment, reducing pressure and discomfort during transfers, while promoting better postural support for patients with limited mobility. The padded head support provides essential stability for users who may have reduced head or neck control, ensuring a secure and comfortable position throughout the lifting process. These features make the sling particularly effective for individuals requiring high support or with complex postural needs.
The sling’s design also prioritises the caregiver experience. Its generous size and structured shape allow for quick and straightforward positioning behind the patient, simplifying rigging and reducing transfer time. Added positioning handles are strategically located to assist carers in adjusting the patient’s posture with minimal effort, enhancing safety for both the patient and caregiver. Colour-coded attachment loops are provided to guide correct sling placement on spreader bars, helping ensure consistent and safe lifting practices.
A simple, intuitive colour-coding system is used across all Oxford Quickfit slings to facilitate rapid identification and reduce the risk of errors. The outer-edge binding indicates the sling size at a glance: red for small, yellow for medium, and green for large. This allows caregivers to instantly select the correct sling for each patient, supporting safe and efficient workflow in busy clinical environments.
Durability and hygiene are key features of the Oxford Quickfit Deluxe Sling. Constructed from high-quality, durable polyester, the sling is designed to withstand the demands of daily use while remaining gentle on the skin. Its washable fabric supports rigorous infection control protocols, and it can be machine washed at up to 85°C. For ease of care, tumble drying on a low or cool setting is recommended, while bleaching or harsh chemicals should be avoided to maintain the sling’s integrity and longevity.
The Quickfit Deluxe Sling is versatile and suitable for a wide range of transfer scenarios, including seated-to-standing lifts, bed-to-chair transfers, and repositioning within wheelchairs or specialist seating. Its contoured design and padded head support provide extra stability and comfort, making it suitable for patients with limited mobility, high support requirements, or sensitive skin. The combination of robust construction, intuitive features, and patient-focused design ensures that every transfer can be performed safely, efficiently, and with dignity.
Caregivers benefit from the sling’s thoughtful design elements, which reduce manual handling strain and simplify complex transfers. Coloured attachment loops and positioning handles allow for precise adjustments, improving patient alignment and enhancing the overall safety of each lift. The sling’s broad compatibility with Oxford hoists ensures that it can be deployed across multiple environments, providing a consistent and reliable transfer solution for healthcare providers.
In summary, the Oxford Quickfit Deluxe Sling with Padded Head Support combines comfort, safety, and durability in a user-friendly design. Its padded leg sections, contoured shape, and head support enhance patient positioning and comfort, while colour-coded bindings and attachment points simplify caregiver use. Fully machine washable and compatible with a wide range of Oxford hoists, this sling is a dependable choice for hospitals, care homes, and home care environments that prioritise patient dignity, caregiver efficiency, and long-term usability.
