ArjoHuntleigh Mesh Slings for Bathing

These mesh slings allow water to pass easily through the material, making the process of bathing much more convenient, safe, and dignified for both the patient and the caregiver. Instead of transferring patients to a specialized chair or system specific to the bathing process, patients can be lifted from their bed or wheelchair directly into this mesh sling and moved to the bathing area. The durable construction and washable materials allow slings to be cleaned between patients and reused frequently for upwards of ten years of functionality.

The lack of leg padding makes it easier to apply the sling to patients with skeletal or spinal conditions and also makes removing clothing for hygiene tasks less difficult; the extended leg sling option provides greater access to the lower body area with the longer reach around the thighs. For patients who are unable to hold their head up on their own, the padding around the head of the sling ensures they are positioned properly and to enhance comfort. The safe working load of 600 pounds accommodates even bariatric patients, but please note that this weight capacity may differ from that of your spreader bar or lift device, and that you should always defer to the lowest safe working capacity.

To see which lifts and transfers each sling is compatible with, as well as the features and differences between them, please view the chart below.
