Hoisting into a shower chair or a bath puts a sling through water every time it is used. This one is a polyester net mesh, so water runs straight through it and it dries fast between uses.
It supports to shoulder height and suits clients who have head control of their own. The mesh breathes, which also helps for a client who sits in the sling for any length of time or who perspires heavily.
Sliding loops even out the load across the attachment points so one leg or one shoulder does not take more than its share. The leg rest loops are colour coded, which gives carers a quick check that the fit is right and gives you something concrete to record in a handling plan. Application pockets on the back and leg rests make it easier to get the sling in place around a seated client, and the flip up label keeps the inspection record readable after repeated washing.
