A padded general purpose sling without head support, for the client with good head control who finds a plain fabric sling uncomfortable under the thighs.
The padded sections cushion the pressure points that show up during a slow or repeated transfer, so this is worth specifying where a client is hoisted many times a day, or where skin integrity is already a concern. Leaving off the head support keeps the sling simple to apply and easy for one carer to position behind a seated client.
Colour coded binding and coloured loops keep sizing and loop choice consistent across a roster of staff, which is the practical difference between a smooth transfer and a fiddly one.
