The Silvalea In-Situ Straight Leg Sling with Head Support gives full body support through a hoist transfer while keeping the legs closed. That suits clients who need the hips and knees held together, and those for whom a divided leg sling is not appropriate.
As an in-situ sling it is made to stay under the client after the transfer rather than be removed each time, which cuts down the repeated rolling and repositioning that clients who transfer often find painful. A documented risk assessment should support the decision to leave any sling in place.
The head support is adjustable and uses removable stiffeners, so head and neck control can be dialled to the individual rather than fixed. Low friction fabric on the leg sections and the head support makes the sling easier to slide into position, and colour coded loop tapes come fixed as standard with soft binding throughout.
Check hoist compatibility, loop configuration and safe working load against both the sling label and the hoist before use.
