Classic High Back Lifting Sling

The Classic High Back Lifting Sling allows for comfortable and secure patient transfer, and is suitable in most common lifting situations, such as sitting transfers between bed and wheelchair. It has been created for users who need gentle support and stability, particularly behind the head, and can also be used for lifting from a recumbent position on the floor. The sling’s netted polyester material is airy and allows the user to stay sat over it once a transfer is complete.

Durable Polyester Net Material

This Classic High Back Sling allows for comfortable and secure seated transfers from bed to wheelchair, or vice versa, for users who need additional support behind the head. The breathable, polyester net material is designed to be left under the patient after transfer, meaning that the patient remains sitting comfortably on the sling until they need to be lifted again.

• Undivided leg supports

• High back; the user is supported from the tailbone and up over the head

Full Back Support

The Classic High Back Sling facilitates quick application and removal of the sling by the carer.
