Description
The Hygiene Sling, Manufactured by Tech-Assist Products, is used for toileting with clients who are unable to stand transfer but do have head and upper trunk control but prefer not having a sling under their arms. The sling aperture is slightly higher and wider than the standard GP sling allowing for greater access to remove clothing for toileting. A chest strap is incorporated into the sling to reduce the risk of slipping through the increased aperture. The correct size of sling for the client is very important and should be assessed by an appropriately qualified occupational therapist or physiotherapist. The leg straps contour to give comfortable support under the thighs, thinning out towards the loop attachment to prevent cutting into the groin when leg straps are crossed between client’s legs. The legs are padded in a closed cell foam to prevent material bunching up under the legs. They are available in a choice of 2 fabrics, Polyester Mesh and Spacer Mesh (Neoprene and mesh combination). All slings are tested to International Standards and the Safe Working Load (SWL) is on the sling label
