This high sling from the Invacare brand is designed to support the entire body, including the head and shoulders, in a comfortable position slightly tilted back.
Its use is recommended for people who have poor head, trunk and hip support. With reinforcement ribs for the head part, which offers greater comfort.
If needed, this sling can also be used without the head support, by simply removing the plastic rigidisers.
The high-durability polyester of this sling is easy to use and is suitable for use with all hook and loop spreader bar hoist systems.
This sling helps to move incapacitated patients during transfers in a comfortable and safe manner.
