This is a general purpose designed patient Sling with head support, and is available in a variety of materials. All webbing is sewn on the outside of the Sling, away from the patient to prevent pressure against the patient’s skin. The foam padded leg sections help make the Sling more comfortable. Special sizes can be made on request.

Additional Information

Tuck the back of the Sling down behind the patient's back so that the bottom edge of the Sling is next to the patient’s coccyx. The stitches in the middle of the back section should be parallel to the patient’s spine. When fitting the leg sections, pass the webbing from one section through the webbing sewn on the other leg section.

Please select the most appropriate material and sling design for the patient, but remember, if the patient's condition changes, it may be necessary to use a different material and design of sling.

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

General Manual Handling Warning: Manual handling products are designed to assist carers to help patients. They will not make the carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the carer or patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.

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 If any damage is found the Sling must be withdrawn from service and repaired, if possible.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 the patient's 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.
