HighStar Deluxe Hammock Sling

The HighStar Deluxe Hammock Sling is a Canadian-made spacer loop sling that keeps hammock sacral support and adds a larger hygiene opening than the standard Hammock. HighStar sells it with or without head support, including an adjustable head-support family. Westin Healthcare fits it in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.

Who this sling is for

HighStar designed the Deluxe Hammock for people who need hammock-level sacral support and a toileting aperture. Remove applicable clothing before you apply the sling for toileting. It is offered in spacer fabric only on the 2022 Homecare list.

• Toileting transfers that still need sacral support
• Loop carry bars on Handicare C450, C625, A450, and Carina
• Optional or adjustable head support

The standard HighStar Hammock Sling is the same shape without the larger opening. Dedicated toileting without hammock legs is the HighStar Hygiene Sling.

Sizing

Use HighStar's height and weight guide, then confirm with a clinician or our staff before first use.

April 2025 SWL for Deluxe Hammock spacer: Child/Junior/Small 450 lb, Medium 650 lb, Large/XL/XXL 1000 lb.

Which article

Default is Deluxe Hammock Medium (115304). Head support is 11531x. Adjustable head support is 11531xA.

Attachment and compatible lifts

This is a loop sling. HighStar writes that it is compatible with any floor or ceiling lift that accepts loop-style slings. Colour-coded loops go onto the carry-bar hooks. It does not use Human Care E-clips or mushroom fasteners.

On our floor it belongs on a Handicare loop carry bar: the Handicare C450, the Handicare C625, the Handicare A450, or the two-point SlingBar on the Handicare Carina 350. Drive and Hoyer manuals restrict those lifts to their own slings, so we do not hang a HighStar sling there. Confirm size and fabric with a clinician or our staff before first use.

Delivery in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team can deliver this sling across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area, on its own or with a Handicare lift setup. We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a sling first. For a scheduled drop-off or a fitting, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works.

This is a small carton. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods can apply when it ships without a lift. If it travels with a patient lift, the lift is oversized and White-Glove Delivery is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Warranty

When something on the sling needs work, you call the shop that sold it. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department.

HighStar manufacturer warranty

HighStar's current instruction sheets do not print a simple year-count warranty. They do print that a properly cared for sling should last about 2 to 3 years. Ask us for the warranty that ships with your article. We handle the claim with you.
