Hoist slings

This section includes slings designed to be used with hoists to transport a person from one location to another. Some are designed to accommodate the size and weight of a heavier user, some can be made-to-measure. They are suitable for adults, children or both. Some slings are disposable.

Universal slings, or divided leg slings, are available with or without a commode aperture. Also included are hammock slings which provide good support and comfort for the user as the body weight is supported over a larger area of fabric, and band slings although care should be taken when using the latter due to the high risk of injury through inappropriate use, for example a user susceptible to spasm may be at risk of 'jack knifing' through the sling.

Toileting and access slings are useful for toileting and washing, however they do not provide adequate support for all users.

Standing slings provide support to a user who is using the hoist to stand.

Walking slings are mainly for use with overhead hoists to assist with walking and standing or dressing.

Slings for users with an amputation provide additional support.

Stretcher slings include both rigid and fabric models. Check whether they are X-ray translucent where this is a required feature.

Alternative slings and supports have unique design or function. Some are suitable for all day use.
