The Drive Medical Classic Universal Sling has an integral head support panel for users who need head and neck support while sitting upright during hoist transfers. Its soft mesh drains and dries quickly, so it suits bathing, and padded legs with nylon inserts stop bunching. This is the Medium size, with yellow edges, for users up to 200 kg.
The Drive Medical Classic Universal Sling is an all-purpose hoist sling with an integral head support panel. It suits users who need head and neck support and keep an upright sitting position during a transfer. Its FastFit design makes it quick to apply, and padded leg supports add comfort while the hoist takes the weight.
A Universal Sling with Head Support for Upright Transfers
The head support panel sits in the back of the sling, so it supports the head and neck all the way through the lift. Colour-coded positional loops let the carer choose between different seating positions, depending on how upright the user needs to sit. In addition, positioning handles on the sling help the carer place and apply it safely before lifting.
Soft Mesh That Suits Bathing
This version uses mesh, a soft and pliable material that suits bathing above all. Water drains straight through and the sling dries quickly, so it does not stay wet for long between transfers. Padding and nylon inserts in the legs stop them from bunching under the thighs.
Choosing the Right Size
Each size has its own colour on the edges of the sling, so carers can tell them apart at a glance. This listing is the Medium, which has yellow edges and suits users from 147 to 168 cm tall with a girth of 79 to 104 cm. Measure girth around the chest for men and children and around the hips for women, and measure height with the user lying down for the best result. Because the size chart is a guide only, carry out a thorough risk assessment and check that the sling suits your hoist and its spreader bar.
