Silvalea Universal Deluxe Sling with Head Support
The Silvalea Universal Deluxe Sling with Head Support is a versatile full-body hoist sling designed to provide safe, comfortable and supportive transfers for individuals with limited mobility. Combining full-body support with an integral head support and padded leg sections, it is suitable for a wide range of patient handling applications in hospitals, care homes and domestic care environments.
Manufactured from high-density open weave mesh fabric, the sling provides a durable yet lightweight solution that is particularly well suited to bathing and toileting transfers. The breathable mesh construction allows water to pass through easily and dries quickly after use, helping to maintain comfort and hygiene between transfers.
The sling features angled padded leg sections that provide additional support around the femur and hips while helping to distribute pressure more evenly during lifting. This design can improve comfort and stability for the user, particularly during transfers where additional lower-body support is required.
An integral head support provides additional stability for users who require assistance maintaining head and neck positioning. The head support includes removable stiffeners, allowing the level of support to be adjusted to suit individual requirements. This makes the sling a practical option for users with reduced upper-body control who need additional support during hoisting.
For added convenience during personal care, the sling incorporates a small toileting aperture, allowing appropriate access while the user remains supported. This makes it suitable for transfers involving toileting and bathing, helping carers carry out essential care tasks efficiently while maintaining user dignity.
Positioning is made easier with colour-coded tapes, which assist carers in identifying attachment points and achieving consistent sling positioning. The sling is compatible with loop-type hoist systems, making it suitable for use with a wide range of compatible passive hoists.
The Silvalea Universal Deluxe Sling with Head Support is also designed for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. It can be machine washed at 85°C and tumble dried on a low heat setting of up to 50°C, supporting effective hygiene management in busy healthcare and care environments.
Overall, the Silvalea Universal Deluxe Sling with Head Support combines comfort, stability and practical functionality in a durable full-body sling. Its padded leg sections, adjustable head support, toileting aperture and quick-drying mesh construction make it a versatile choice for safe patient transfers, bathing and personal care.
