Description
The HighStar Tri-Turner Sling is a Canadian-made quilted sling for turning a person in bed. The 2022 Homecare list says these slings are used to turn or reposition a patient while in bed. Westin Healthcare sells Junior through XX-Large in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.
HighStar's July 2024 instruction sheet application steps match that turning job (Velcro to the bed frame, then lift hooks, support the back with a pillow). The intro paragraph on that same PDF pastes Hygiene sling copy. We follow the 2022 list and the application steps, not that pasted intro.
Who this sling is for
Use it to turn or reposition someone in bed with a loop lift, not as a seated universal or hammock. Confirm with a clinician. A sheet-style repositioner is the HighStar Positioning Sling.
- In-bed turning
- Loop carry bars on Handicare C450, C625, A450, and Carina
- Quilted, Junior to XX-Large (no Child on the 2022 list)

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.

Care and laundering
HighStar's instruction sheet: wash inside a laundry bag, temperatures not to exceed 80 C / 176 F, no bleach, air dry or cool tumble with no heat, no dry clean, no iron. Always follow the care label sewn on the sling you receive. Inspect loops, seams, and the label before every use. Remove the sling from service if it is torn, frayed, or the label is no longer legible.
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.
