Handi Sling
The NDIS Support Item Reference Number provided is a guide only. Please note that each purchase must align with your individual plan goals and needs, and eligibility may vary based on your disability type and NDIS plan. Final approval for claims is determined by the NDIS.
Description
Sometimes it is not possible to use a mechanical lifting hoist when away from home. The Handi Sling will help open new horizons to enable people to be more active in many ways, without the necessity of having a mechanical hoist to lift them.
Key Features
- Helpful manual lifting Sling
- Slippery, breathable material
Additional Information
Some examples could be going on a picnic, going to the beach, lifting people into boats, or even going camping. The Handi Pads are an optional extra. They attach to the webbing straps with Hook & Loop Tape. Using them makes lifting the Handi Sling's straps much more comfortable.
When designing the Handi Sling, we were very mindful that it is against Manual Handling principles to manually lift people. Before using, a risk assessment should be undertaken, including weight and co-operation of the Client and the ability of the Carers. Any instructions, suggestions, or videos are purely a guide. Manual Handling Trainers know the abilities of the people doing the lift and the person being lifted. They may alter our suggestions to suit the Carers and person being lifted.

| Material | Photo | Type | Notes |
| All Day Sling Material |  |
Nylon | A strong, thin material with a Rip Stop thread in the material, to help reduce or prevent ripping. As the material is breathable the Slings can be left under the patients sitting in chairs. This reduces the need to remove the Sling after the patient has been hoisted into a chair, and then replace the Sling to pick them up again. |
Cleaning
Wash up to 80°C (176°F). Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing. We recommend using a Pelican Washing Bag to help contain the straps.
Important
Warning: Inspect slings before every use. If any damage is found the Sling must be withdrawn from service and repaired, if possible.
Warning: If you are leaving a sling made in the All Day Sling material under a person, always ensure that there will be no adverse pressure care issues. This includes checking that the attachment method (e.g. webbing loops, keyhole plates, etc.), are not positioned in such a way that may hurt the person. The actual material is very thin and it should not cause a pressure problem, but patients' skin integrity should be regularly checked, just in case the sling is causing a pressure problem. If there are any early signs of pressure problems, discontinue using this design of sling.
Disposal: When the Sling is ready for disposal, we suggest the Lifting Straps are cut off, so it cannot be used with another patient.
