Oxford Quickfit Sling – General Purpose
The Oxford Quickfit Sling is a versatile, general-purpose transfer sling designed to provide secure, comfortable support for a wide range of patients. Its easy-to-fit construction ensures quick application, allowing caregivers to focus on safe handling and patient comfort. Ideal for clinical, community, and home care settings, the Quickfit Sling accommodates everyday transfer needs while maintaining dignity and stability for the user.
Designed with divided leg sections, the Quickfit Sling ensures excellent hip and thigh support, promoting correct positioning during lifting and transfers. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who require moderate support or have limited mobility, as it reduces the risk of slipping or misalignment. For patients with increased support needs, the sling can be used with optional padded leg sections to enhance comfort and reduce pressure on sensitive areas, ensuring a safer and more comfortable transfer experience.
The Quickfit Sling is available in both polyester solid and breathable net material options, providing flexibility for different care environments. The net variant is ideal for wet environments such as bathing and showering, allowing water to pass freely and aiding infection control. Meanwhile, the polyester solid option offers durable, easy-care performance for daily use. Both materials are robust enough to withstand repeated use and laundering without compromising structural integrity.
Patient dignity and comfort are central to the Quickfit Sling’s design. A modesty loop is included to help protect the user’s privacy during transfers, and the contoured leg design reduces exposure while supporting natural postural alignment. The fabric is carefully selected to provide a comfortable hand-feel for caregivers and a gentle surface for users, reducing friction and skin irritation during lifts. These considerations make the Quickfit Sling suitable for long-term use across a variety of patient care scenarios.
Safety and efficiency are further enhanced with strategically positioned colour-coded attachment loops and binding. Colour-coded binding provides instant recognition of sling size, while the coloured attachment loops guide caregivers to attach the sling correctly to the hoist, ensuring consistent and secure rigging. This system reduces errors, speeds up handling, and supports safer transfer practices. Additional positioning handles allow caregivers to make fine adjustments and reposition the patient with ease, facilitating optimal alignment throughout the lift.
The Quickfit Sling is compatible with most loop-style passive hoists, making it a flexible solution for care teams managing multiple hoist systems. Its general-purpose design supports a wide range of tasks, including seated-to-standing transfers, wheelchair-to-bed movements, and intra-seat repositioning. Side suspenders can be added for additional comfort and stability where necessary, particularly for users who benefit from extra support at the hip and torso. This adaptability ensures that the Quickfit Sling meets both patient and caregiver needs across diverse care settings.
Durability and hygiene are key considerations in the design of the Quickfit Sling. The materials are selected for long-lasting performance and can be machine washed according to infection-control protocols, allowing repeated use without degradation of quality or safety. Reinforced seams and high-quality stitching provide strength and reliability, giving caregivers confidence during frequent use and transfers.
