What is it?
The Amputee High Easy sling comes with universal clips. This sling is based on the High Easy Transfer Sling with the addition of either a commode filler or bridge, making this style suitable for any length of amputation. The bridge option provides small access for those end users who require toileting. Ideally suited for general transfers or users with poor tone and high amputations. The full body sling features a head support as standard to allow transfers in a slightly reclined position if needed. It is extremely comfortable and supportive, featuring additional padding on the leg sections.
The universal D-anserclip fixing allows for greater hoist compatibility and is suitable for use on stud/clip fixing spreader bars. Simple click on and click off action giving a secure lift to both caregiver and end user.
Available material types:
Polyester – A strong and durable fabric commonly used for everyday slings.
Mesh – A strong and durable fabric commonly used for bathing and hygiene slings. The open weave allows water to drain through the fabric and dry more quickly.
Wash at 71°C – Tumble dry low heat (max 50°C)
