Patient lift sling is an important element of a patient lift and hooks up to the lift by a metal chain, adjustable strap or reinforced fabric loops. The sling is placed under the patient for safe and smooth transfer from a bed, wheelchair, shower or commode. It is sturdy and capable of carrying heavy weights eliminating any risk to the patient or the caregiver. We offer the best line of slings to be used with patient lifts. They are slings for lifting patients who are totally or partially dependent, bariatric or have restricted head control or neck support.
Slings can be used during transfer to and from the commode, for bathing and more. There are slings with or without head support, with or without commode opening and available in different fabric type like polyester, nylon, net, spacer (combination of net and foam), etc. We carry products from established manufacturers like Invacare, Drive Medical, Joerns Healthcare, Bestcare, Chattanooga and Graham-Field.
