Invacare Universal Standard Spacer Sling

Key User Benefits

• Enhanced Comfort and Support: The highly durable spacer fabric is slightly elasticated, allowing the sling to contour to the user's body shape. This unique feature provides optimal support and comfort, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with skin integrity issues. The fabric's ability to stretch and adapt to the user's contours ensures that the sling can offer high levels of comfort and support, especially important for users who may need to remain in the sling for extended periods.
• Skin Integrity and Pressure Ulcer Prevention: The breathable spacer fabric is designed for two-way stretch, adapting well to the user's body and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. This is crucial for users with delicate skin or those at risk of skin integrity issues. However, it's important to note that a healthcare professional should assess the risk of skin integrity and pressure ulcers before leaving the sling in situ for prolonged periods. Additionally, regular repositioning according to local health authority protocols is necessary when the sling is used for extended times, further aiding in pressure ulcer prevention.
• Universal Compatibility and Unobstructed View: This sling is part of the Invacare Universal range and is compatible with a wide array of hoists, including those that use Loop and Coat Hanger Spreader Bar Systems like the Birdie Hoists. This universal compatibility makes it a versatile choice for various care settings. Furthermore, the design of the sling provides exceptional support for the whole body while offering the user an unobstructed view, enhancing the user experience. This feature is particularly preferred for elderly users, ensuring they receive both the physical support they need and the comfort of being able to see their surroundings clearly.
