Who it suits
This sling is made for clients with an amputated leg and for clients whose muscle tone is too low to hold them safely in a standard leg arrangement. The leg sections are cut long and narrow so they wrap under and around both legs, and additional straps stop the legs sliding out of position during the lift.
The high back gives support through the trunk and head, so it can be used for hoisting to and from lying as well as sitting. An anatomical cut and padded construction spread the load across a larger area, which is important for a client who cannot shift their own weight in the sling.
A built-in waist belt adds security and, just as usefully, adds confidence: clients who have felt insecure in a sling often settle once the belt is done up. This listing is the medium size in the padded high back version.
