Oxford Quickfit Spacer Sling (With Padded Legs)
The Oxford Quickfit Spacer Sling (With Padded Legs) is a high-performance patient transfer sling designed to combine comfort, safety, and hygiene. Crafted from breathable spacer fabric, this sling allows air circulation across the patient’s body, reducing heat and moisture build-up during transfers and enhancing overall comfort. Its padded leg sections provide additional support and protection, making it ideal for patients with sensitive skin or those requiring extended periods of use during lifting and repositioning.
Breathable Spacer Fabric for Enhanced Comfort
Spacer fabric is a specialised textile that provides cushioning while maintaining airflow. The Oxford Quickfit Spacer Sling utilises this innovative material to keep patients cool and comfortable, even during prolonged transfers. Its breathable construction helps prevent skin irritation, sweating, and discomfort that can occur with conventional sling materials. This feature is particularly valuable for patients who may be prone to pressure sores or who require extra comfort during mobility assistance.
The lightweight yet durable fabric also contributes to ease of handling for caregivers. The sling is easy to position, attach, and remove, improving workflow efficiency while maintaining patient dignity and safety.
Padded Legs for Added Support
The integrated padded leg sections provide secure support under the thighs and around the leg area, minimising pressure points during transfers. This design ensures patients feel comfortable and stable while being lifted or repositioned, reducing anxiety and involuntary movements. The padding also protects sensitive skin from friction or shear forces, which is essential for patients with fragile skin or those at risk of pressure-related injuries.
General-Purpose Quickfit Design
The Oxford Quickfit Spacer Sling (With Padded Legs) features a general-purpose design that is compatible with most loop-style hoists. Its straightforward construction allows caregivers to attach and adjust the sling quickly and safely. Colour-coded loops and clear positioning handles ensure correct fitting for each patient, promoting safety and consistency across transfers. This versatility makes the sling suitable for a wide range of applications in hospitals, care homes, and home care settings.
The contoured shape of the sling distributes weight evenly, helping maintain proper posture and comfort throughout each lift. Patients benefit from improved stability, while caregivers experience easier handling with reduced risk of incorrect positioning.
Durable, Hygienic, and Washable
This sling is designed for repeated use in clinical and home environments. The spacer fabric is not only durable but also easy to maintain, meeting strict hygiene standards. Machine washable at 85°C, the sling supports effective infection control protocols, and it dries quickly for repeated daily use. Caregivers are advised to tumble dry on low heat or air dry, avoiding bleach or fabric softeners to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
