Where a client has reasonable head and trunk control, a low back hygiene sling keeps the lift quick and keeps the sling out of the way behind the shoulders. The Invacare Hygiene sling in the low back version is built for seated to seated transfers with toileting access, with a wide opening so clothing and personal care can be managed without taking the client out of the lifter.
Applying it to a seated client is straightforward, so it works well for a bathroom routine several times a day and for a carer working on their own. Colour coded loops mean the position can be set the same way by whoever is on shift.
Polyester fabric, four sizes, and a wash cycle that suits shared or facility use. Assess head control before choosing this version.
