Hygiene Lifting Sling

The Hygiene Lifting Sling is a transfer aid that is easy to apply and is helpful in aiding the carer to dress and undress the patient in connection with visits to the toilet. It has been designed for use by patients with adequate muscular tonus and has leg supports so that the patient feels secure in the moving and handling process. For additional security, a belted version is also available to buy.
