Full Body Slings
Full Body slings are the easiest sling to use while transferring a resident from a supine position (laying on ones’ back). It can be used for transfers from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or toilet, or from the floor to a bed. This sling style offers total head, neck, and thigh support. Full body slings should be used for residents who are totally or partially dependent, non-weight bearing, bariatric, or for those who have limited head control. These are available in a solid fabric, mesh, or mesh with a commode opening. Mesh slings should be used for bathing. These slings are often left under the resident between lifts. Solid fabric slings should not be left under the resident for extended periods of time, as the fabric can retain body heat. LUMEX Full Body slings have four connection points and can beused with 2-, 4-, or 6-point spreader bars.
