WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT? This sling has been more popular with some double amputees or contracted people in fall-out chairs as they may find it more comfortable than the split-leg sling design. People sitting in fall-out chairs can also be log rolled to place the sling under them. The hole is provided for toileting. Click here to view the full range of Hoist Slings. WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR? This sling is suitable for someone who can be safely transferred, using a metal hook type hoist. BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE To put on the person, it is best to lay the folded sling on the bed next to the person and then log roll the person onto the sling, similar to placing a draw sheet under a person. A central vertical line of stitching indicates the middle of the sling. This should be lined up with the person’s spine so the sling is evenly fitted. This sling is also available in a strong mesh material. The smaller holes in the mesh material allow bathing and gives ventilation when they are left under the people. If the person sits with the sling under them, we recommend the Hammock Sling with Chair Pad which has a breathable lining to reduce perspiration and improve pressure care. WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM? Nylon, webbing.
