Showering and bathing transfers need a sling that copes with being wet. This one is made from mesh, so water runs straight through it during the shower and it drains and dries quickly afterwards. The client is not left sitting in a soaked sling, and the sling is back in service sooner.
It supports the head, so it can be used with clients who have little or no head control, and the leg sections are left unpadded to keep the sling light and quick drying. The loop attachment means it works with loop style spreader bars, and the leg loops can be crossed or left uncrossed depending on how much hip positioning the client needs.
It is a practical choice for clients who shower daily with hoist assistance, in a home, a group home or a facility bathroom. Carers should follow the wash and drying instructions, and the sling should be checked and replaced on the usual schedule.
