What is it?
The silvalea Easy Access sling was originally designed for adults; it has proved to be so successful that the design was adjusted for paediatrics where it has been equally well received.
A perfect choice for the younger end user who still wishes to be dressed in their favourite clothing, but have extreme active movement, strong extensor patterning and high or low body tone. Easy to apply within most seating systems or from bed/floor. This dressing/toileting sling features adjustable counterbalance tapes.
Comes with head and thoracic support. The sling has been manufactured with structured foam to provide additional support and a greater degree of comfort during transfer.
As with all dressing slings due to the aperture this sling must be fitted correctly and full patient risk assessment should be carried out before lifting.
Available in one material type:
Polyester – Easy application. Glides and slides smoothly, dries quickly after washing.
Compatible with Guldmann, Liko and Mo Lift hoists and other third party hoists with loop fixing spreader bars
Wash at 85°C
Tumble dry at low heat (max 50°C)
Please Note: Due to material changes product colours may vary from photography shown on website.
