DocumentDocumentSling Range Slings are an important component of any hoist system, they are the point of contact and interface between the user and the hoist. The correct selection of sling is paramount in providing a safe, dignified and comfortable transfer. Our high quality range offers a variety of designs and materials to allow comfortable moving and handling. All of our slings have a colour coded loop system to make positioning, and connection to a hoist, as simple as possible. This system offers a range of adjustments to meet the specific needs of the user. Selecting the correct type of sling depends on the physical characteristics of the user, such as height and weight, whether the user has trunk control or needs head and/or leg support. Additional factors to consider are: · Type of transfer - from which position is the individual going from and to. · Individual's medical condition - for example their functional and sitting ability. · Comfort - consider chronic pain, perhaps medical attachments. · The hoist and spreader bar - ensure that the sling can be used and fitted correctly to the equipment. All these factors must be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate sling. A full evaluation and risk assessment should be carried out by a qualified person. 02 Key Features of Slings · All standard slings have colour coded edges so that you can easily determine its size:- Blue = Extra Large, Green = Large, Yellow = Medium, Red = Small. · Each sling has colour coded positional loops to offer different seating positions. · All standard slings come with padded legs for optimum comfort.

Girth For men and children this is the measurement around the chest measured just under the arms or for women around the hips, this measurement can be done lying down or in a seated position. Height For accuracy this is best carried out with the patient in a lying position, if measured in sections i.e. nape of neck to coccyx and coccyx to back of knee etc, the resulting measurements almost always end up with the patient being taller than they actually are. Once the girth and height is known look to the chart for the sling size that closely matches the measurement taken, If in doubt seek advice from your clinician or call our customer services team on 0845 0600 333.
