Every birthing suite with a pool needs a plan for getting a woman out of it fast. The manual version of this evacuation sling is for teams lifting by hand, with colour coded grab handles placed so staff know exactly where to take hold and can share the load evenly around the pool edge.
The open weave mesh drains as the sling comes up, so water does not add to what the team is carrying, and it dries and launders quickly afterwards ready for the next shift.
It supports the head, torso, pelvis and thighs together, which keeps the woman held and covered through a moment that is stressful enough already.
