Drive DeVilbiss Classic Polyester Sling With Head Support

To ensure comfortable patient transfers that require minimal effort from carers, try the Drive DeVilbiss Classic Polyester Sling With Head Support alongside a universal hoist (sold separately). The sling is available in multiple sizes making it suitable for a wide range of people, and comes complete with conveniently placed handles that enable easier patient repositioning.

What's Included?

• 1 x Universal Hoist Sling

Please note: This sling is designed to be used with a passive patient lift (sold separately). It will not function effectively as a patient mobility aid without a hoist unit to work with.

What Is This Universal Hoist Sling For?

The DeVilbiss Classic Polyester Sling is designed for use with universal patient hoists (sold separately). These hoists are used to conduct safe transfers and repositioning of patients who have impaired mobility. Universal, or passive, hoists are perfect for patients with very limited or fully impaired mobility, as they require little to no physical effort from the patient.

This sling also offers a comfortable foundation for patients to maintain an upright seated position with ease. The polyester material is smooth, with a low-friction surface, enabling easy and speedy application and removal.

Who Is the Drive DeVilbiss Polyester Sling For?

The Drive Polyester Sling is ideal for use with patients who have limited or fully impaired mobility. 

It is ideal for use with passive patient lifts in a range of environments, including for both residential and clinical care. Using this sling alongside a patient lift reduces the amount of physical effort required for a transfer, making it particularly useful for single carers who do not necessarily have the manual support that they require.

Which Size Patient Lift Sling Should I Choose?

The Classic Universal Sling is available in a range of sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for a variety of patients. To discover which size is the right size for you, start by measuring the user's body girth / waist circumference (as seen below), and their height. 

Once you have these measurements, compare them to the table below to see which size would be the most comfortable fit.
