Frequently Asked Questions About Slings
What types of patient lift slings are available?
+
Sling types include universal/full body slings for complete support, toileting slings with openings for hygiene, divided leg slings for easier positioning, sit-to-stand slings for patients with leg strength, and specialty slings for bathing or positioning.
How do I choose the right sling size?
+
Sling sizing is based on patient weight and body dimensions. Most manufacturers offer small, medium, large, and bariatric sizes. Proper sizing ensures comfort and safety - too small restricts movement, too large provides inadequate support.
How often should slings be replaced?
+
Inspect slings regularly for wear, fraying, or damaged stitching. Replace immediately if damage is found. With normal use, slings typically last 1-3 years. Mesh slings may wear faster than solid fabric.
Can slings be washed?
+
Most slings are machine washable - check manufacturer instructions. Mesh slings dry quickly and are preferred in facilities with frequent washing needs. Proper cleaning extends sling life and maintains hygiene.
