COMFORT RECLINE

The Comfort Recline is a general transfer sling. It provides good trunk and thigh support. It does not provide
toileting access. The Comfort Recline Sling is only available in Spacer Fabric as it is a leave in sling.

The Comfort Recline sling is designed to be used in conjunction with a floor lift or ceiling lift. The sling is used to lift
clients from bed or on/off the floor. This sling can only be applied in lying.

This sling can be used for clients with limited upper body function and tone. Clients with or without head control
are well served by this sling due to the fact that this sling is available with or without head support.

This sling is designed to remain in position on the chair after the client is lifted to the chair. The Comfort Recline
sling is Ideal when introduction of a sling is difficult (i.e., lifting a client into a tight fitting chair).

The Comfort Recline’s function is due to the sling design:

 The sling does not have an opening/aperture, eliminating potential pressure points in the sacral and

coccygeal regions

 The sling is only available in Spacer Fabric as it is designed to be left in place, following the appropriate risk

assessment by a trained professional

 The sling has a narrow design compared to the Universal, Hammock, and Deluxe Support Sling, ensuring a

more tailored fit

 Due to the tailored fit, little fabric is seen when left in place, contributing to the sling’s increased visual appeal
 Leg straps can be tucked away when not in use. The midline leg straps can be tucked into the storage pouch

between the client’s thighs when not in use. This limits contact between the straps and the client’s skin and is

also more visually appealing.

 The sling positions the client in a more upright seated position, increasing the ease of lowering into a

wheelchair

 If head support is required it is sewn on as an additional piece, allowing independent head control and

support.
