Wellell SLK Universal Bathing Sling For Patient Hoists
With the Wellell SLK Universal Bathing Sling for Patient Hoists, staying on top of patient hygiene is easy and straightforward. This lifting aid accessory has a net-construction, and uses fast-drying materials to enable comfortable bathing of patients while they're in the sling. The bathing sling is also machine washable, ensuring you can keep both this sling and the patients who use it as clean as possible.
What's Included?
Please note: This sling is designed to work with a hoist, and will not function as a lifting aid by itself. Patient hoists are sold separately.
What Is The Function of This Bathing Sling?
The sling is designed for use with universal patient hoists (sold separately), which are ideal for safe transfers and repositioning of patients with limited or impaired mobility. A universal hoist functions well for patients with limited or fully impaired mobility, and requires very little to no physical effort from the patient.
With the Universal Bathing Sling, it is possible to assist with washing low mobility patients. Patients can be picked up from a range of positions and transported to a bathroom with ease using this sling. The net design of the sling enables effective water drainage, so patients can be bathed without needing to be removed from the lifting aid.
How Is the Bathing Sling Used?
To use this model, begin by comfortably positioning the patient into the sling, ensuring that it is secure and properly lined up with their body, and attach the sling to the hoist.
Who Is This Bathing Sling For?
Ideal for use with passive patient hoists, this sling is designed to assist with lifting patients who have limited or impaired mobility. It is perfect for use during home-care, particularly for sole carers who may not have the physical support they need for patient transfers. The sling can also be used in clinical care environments for faster and simpler patient transportation.
