The Full Body Sling is an easy sling to use while transferring the resident from the bed to a wheelchair, toilet or
shower-chair or from the floor to a bed. It offers total head and neck support and the padded lower section
provides additional under-thigh comfort and support. Use the full body sling for residents who are totally
dependent, partially-dependent, non-weight bearing, very heavy or have limited head control. Use this sling for
amputee residents (in a reclined position). Choose from solid polyester fabric or bathing mesh, with or without
commode opening. The mesh slings may be used for bathing or when the sling will be left under the resident. The
solid polyester slings should not be left under the resident for extended periods because the padding retains body
heat. Residents may be seated on “pressure-reduction” cushions. However, the efficacy of those cushions is
diminished when solid padded slings are left under the resident.
The divided leg sling is a secure, easy-to fit general purpose sling, designed for the majority of sling users. Use the
divided leg sling for residents who are totally dependent, partially dependent, non-weight bearing, very heavy or have
limited head control. Use this sling when transferring the resident from the bed to a wheelchair, recliner or shower-
chair or from the floor to a bed.
The large opening also accommodates toileting. This versatile sling provides full head and neck support and can
easily be removed or applied to a resident in a seated or supine position. The solid fabric has extra padding for
residents with delicate skin. The solid polyester slings should not be left under the resident for extended
periods because the padding retains body heat. Residents may be seated on “pressure-reduction”
cushions. However, the efficacy of those cushions is diminished when solid padded slings are left
under the resident.
