Description
What is the Human Care Full Body Sling in polyester?
It is a patient lift sling that supports the whole body: back, head and both legs. The polyester fabric is woven solid and slides easily, and the reclined seat position keeps the person well supported while the lift does the work.
Who is a full body sling right for?
It is chosen for people with poor trunk stability or limited head control, the situations where a smaller sling would leave the head or back unsupported. The product information also lists it for lifting from the floor. Home care families, long-term care teams and clinic staff use this style when a transfer needs more support than a standing or toileting sling gives.
The divided leg parts pass under each thigh separately, so the person sits in the sling rather than lying in it. Your occupational therapist or care lead should confirm the style is right for the person being lifted.
How do I choose a size?
Pick the size by the person's body build, not only by weight, and make sure the sling clears the head support and sits fully under the thighs. We list six sizes under item 25010: Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL and XXXL. The larger sizes are often special order, so tell us early if you need XL or bigger.
If the person is between sizes, or a care team has measured them, contact us and we will help match the size to the person and the lift.
Will it fit my lift?
It is made for patient lifts with a 2 or 4 point spreader bar. Hanger shapes and attachment points differ between lifts, so confirm the fit for your model before ordering. Send us the lift make and model and we will check it with you.
Using and caring for the sling
Always follow the care label sewn into the sling for washing and drying, and inspect straps, seams and loops before every lift. Retire any sling that looks worn or frayed. Do not use the sling beyond the safe working load printed on its label, and check that label for the size you buy.
Funding and support
Lift slings may be covered by some programs and insurers. See our funding page for the options, or read about our warranty and service.
Frequently asked questions
Can this sling be used to lift someone from the floor?
The product information lists floor lifting as a use. Your lift must also be suited to floor transfers, so check both before relying on it.
Should the sling stay under the person?
We do not advise it without guidance from your care team or the sling's instructions. Ask us and we will point you to the right information for this sling.
What is the weight limit?
It is shown on the sling's label and can differ by size. Contact us and we will confirm it for the size you want.
